Quilting in a Rainy Week

 The sun has come out today, and I was thinking on gardening finally, but it is soooo wet that I gave up and picked some more of the pink stripe Cosmos instead.

 

Other than housework it has been a bit of a boring week really, so it  is going to be a short post this time.  

 I have lost the quilting project I had started for attending the quilt group Stashbusters, goodness knows where it went, as I have hunted high and low, and have been quilting the one I hand basted at home instead, there is a bit of a deadline for that one.

 I also pulled out some knitting to finish off, there is so many projects that I need to do, so decided I had better get going. I would like to finish this cardigan for winter.

The thing now is I have to find a new quilting project to take each week, and decided on our eldest daughter's quilt, of which she chose the fabric and pattern years ago. This means washing all the fabric first and ironing so looks like my day is set, and can take advantage of the sun.

I also managed to finish loading the glass cupboard with fabric. Everything now is sorted in that department. Trick is to use it all. I also posted off all my heirloom cotton laces which was ex stock from my shop from years ago, to a lady in Tamworth.

 She has an Etsy shop of old vintage doilies and some lace. It wasn't op shop material so found someone to send it to. There was heaps of stuff, I vacuumed packed it to keep it all small, and threw in some doilies and milk jug covers, as well, so she will be in for a big surprise by the amount of stuff. I wish I could see her opening it. I have no interest in selling by the metre online, and this is her hobby. She did pay me the postage though.

Covered the doors with curtain lining to protect from fading.

I have booked in for the quilting retreat again this year which is in May so something to look forward to, as well as the 2021 cancelled trips so this year is the Anzac weekend with the family on the housboats, plus our Lord Howe Island week in Nov.

 

 

Till Next Time.
