Oh What A Good Girl Am I!

Ally Pally Debut!

My first visit to the Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally with newbie patchworker friend, Karen. She was totally blown away with all the goodies on offer and I was REMARKABLY restrained! Can you believe I spent less than £10?! – Two little wire hangers for mini quilts and NO FABRIC!

Karen, on the other hand, was a girl on a mission. There was no way she was leaving without ordering a brand new machine. She struck a shrewd deal on a brand new model Brother machine (with even more stitches than mine – sorry Viv!) and the quilting kit and a creative sewing kit thrown in for free! Unfortunately, she will have to wait until midweek for it to be delivered. I’m just as excited as she is and can’t wait to help her get to grips with it.


This week I have finished the Liberty Lawn quilt. You know how you just can’t stop until it’s done sometimes? I spent about 20 hours or more on it and did go for flower motifs in the plain areas.






I’ve had the cutest little furry friend for company this week.    Phoebe!
I felt guilty leaving her today, but she made a little nest on my big quilty bag, so she was quite comfy!

Happy Quilting Everyone!
Janet
