Let the quilting begin.....

Loved having a long weekend today. It was great to have some extra time in the garden, in the kitchen AND tidying up my sewing room which was in a terrible state. The last thing on my list for the weekend was to baste my nieces quilt and start quilting, which I did today. I'm really pleased that I've made a start on it, just need to get it finished before the weather warms up too much.

I've almost finished the second appliqué border of Irish Circles too. For some true EPP and appliqué inspiration pop over to see Hilda's latest quilt. Simply amazing!

Back to work and school tomorrow.......

  2. Basting is one of my least favourite parts of the quilt process. Glad you have passed that stage and hope you enjoy your quilting. I think I may have found Hilda's blog through you and I do enjoy her work very much. Unfortunately a long weekend finishes too quickly.

  16. Just love your quilting stitches - perfect! Hope the sewing room tidy up went well - always hate that job. The weather here is back to cool again - lovely to have the warm days for holidaymakers over the long weekend but not good for hand quilting...
