The Finished Article

Before I can make further inroads into the textile mountain I have to finish what I started last week, the baby quilt.   I braved the temptations of Sew Creative at Wroxham Barns for the wadding and despite my best intentions bought some  backing fabric even though I had plenty at home.  It was just SO right!back

This is always the more fiddly bit of quilt making, where I usually put it away for another day, but now there is a baby waiting!  Once the quilt is finished, doing the edging is a nice peaceful hand sewing job in front of the television.

And it’s all finished and ready to wrap.

Quite a performance, I hope it’s worthy of an Oscar…

I do hope Oscar likes it!

About penny

I live in Norfolk, England in a cottage on the edge of the Norfolk Broads where it can be peaceful and beautiful, or wet and muddy, or occasionally wild and windswept. With me is husband Tim, Henry the elderly and opinionated tabby cat, and Higgins, the miniature dachshund with a massive personality. You’ll find me chattering on about wool and textiles, knitting and crochet, recipes, books and patterns, exhibitions and shopping and of course, the adventures of a small dog! Planet Penny has a Facebook Page, you can find me on UK Handmade and I am featured on Channel4/4Homes Favourite Craft Blog List.

    A beautiful job , very well done ! Of course , the pretty mugs of something herbal must have helped and I’m sure that flying saucer made a difference ! I feel the same about sugar mice and those knicker-pink shrimp things .

    Sugar mice! I remember being appalled a few years ago when I tried to find them at Christmas and someone had BANNED the string tails!!! That’s the tastiest bit!
