I finished the baby quilt and it's currently heading over to the UK as I type! The pattern is called Counting Sheep but I anticipate this being a floor quilt so there won't be a lot of sleeping going on on it.
Here it is before quilting.
Getting the checks to match up on the corners was a challenge! Nothing that a bit of glue and some easing couldn't fix, mind you.
I think I need a new pincushion for when I pin my backing to the quilting frame!
Oooh exciting! It's ready for quilting!
Ta da! Finished quilting.
And my least favourite part...binding.
I went to retreat this weekend and didn't take a single picture! Retreat was great as always and while I was there I booked a few of us into the next retreat in Ballarat for August. Yeah! You can never go on too many retreats!
I stitched the back of the binding down and added a label. When I came home I washed it very carefully with a lot of colour catchers!
Baa!
I came home from retreat with Gail's Emma F#&*ing Mary to quilt. I can't believe I'm going to say this but I have hours of cleaning to do so sewing is being pushed to the back burner for a while.
