Well now I remember why I drifted away from Quilting & started Paper-crafting, Mixed Media and Art Journaling - because the projects just take so long !!I seem to have been stitching these Scandi projects for a decade !!
I have the wall panel bordered up, layered & pinned ready for quilting - and now I have to do the same for the quilt topper.
Who knows how long the quilting will take - will I make it for THIS Christmas I wonder !
On my desk I have a few of the new Fresco paint colours and a small pot I have altered to store parking metre money in in my new car - a few Lavinia stamps and some Stickles for some bling !
Saturday was Hallowe'en and we have a few young children living in the close who like to dress up & come around collecting (with parents at a discreet distance !).
And got out my Pumpkin table runner too !
It was better than we had in August !
The maples in my garden were positively glowing in the sunshine !
The Golden Maple is extra special as it was a present from my Dad as a tiny tree and has moved house with me - it's getting rather too big for that now !
We even walked along the beach side in the sunshine on Sunday !
It certainly didn't seem like November !
Have a great crafty week !

Your quilted pieces are so impressive, Ali. Well done. Love your garden pictures - hasn't the weather been amazing here in Wales? Sunday was glorious - Monday incredible in the fog - and today just beautiful and warm.

ReplyDeleteI love your scandi quilts. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHere in Spain the weather has been awful. But it does mean you are having good weather. It usually works that way. So enjoy!
I loved to see the photos of your garden. Thank you.
Have a good week,

Wow! I just love the quilt. It may take more time, but wow! It is beautiful. And the little pillow is adorable.
