Cheese and nibbles

After finishing Gail's quilt I wondered what to do next.  My friend's 50th birthday present is way overdue so that's what I'll be working on next.  I sewed the centre part together and then realised that I can't find the pattern or the white fabric I previously cut to add to the top and bottom of the camera.


I suspect it's hiding in this mess somewhere.  I'd like to say "In my defence..." or something but the reality is I'm a mess.  This mess happened when I moved everything out of the quilting room and dumped it in the cutting room.  Then the mess was so overwhelming I didn't know where to start so I either worked around it or just didn't sew.


In contrast my new sewing/quilting room looks like this.  


Anyway, in order to find the camera pattern and fabric I have to tidy up.  I decided to break it into more manageable bites. I found some scraps of batting so I sewed pieced together to make batting large enough for tiny baby quilts.  And then (wonders will never cease!) I put the batting away in the box labelled tiny baby quilt batting!  


I put pieces of fabrics and I started cutting up the scrap pieces to go inside this dog bed I've been making for years.  Which no doubt my dogs will turn their noses up at!


I wish I had more exciting things to show you!

Phew! Just made it!

My son and his fiancée enjoyed their engagement party so all the hard work was worth it!  The rain held off and we were able to have the pic...
