I have fallen behind on all my BOM's while being away. Because the New York Beauty goes together as a wallhanging I thought I'd better get cracking on catching up. Also there are 2 a month. I didn't do October before I left so that means I have something like 14 to do just to get back on target...
Here is C1
This is C5
This is E3 in progress..
But this is DH in progress!!!!
I feel the loss of my sewing 'space' is imminent so I better get my sewing skates on!
I have lots of handquilting waiting for me so I won't be idle while I have no access to my machine. In fact as
Ruth handquilts her African quilt I get more and more driven to finish DS2's baby quilt. OK, I know he'll be 2 this year, but things got in the way..
Here he is!
I went to take the picture of the hole in the wall which is next to my sewing space and turned around and the little guy had found a place to play. He doesn't mind the mess (much).
My friend
Birgit sent me an amazing birthday present today. Boy was I spoilt again!!!
A beautiful 'treasure' box covered in Batik fabrics:
plus a huge bundle of batik fabrics and more chocolate than I can eat in a night LOL.
Thank you so much Birgit! The fabrics also came with a pattern.
Also in the box was my Walburga. Each year
Birgit hosts a Quiltfest in her
shop in Germany. This year it's on the 26th of July (so if you're in the area do pop in). Each year Birgit also gives out a free pattern. Last year it was a paper-pieced flower by
Ula Lenz for a charity quilt and the year before it was the Walburga pattern (also by Ula Lenz). (see her online shop under 'Kostet Nix!' for the patterns and conditions)
Anyway here's my Walburga:
Bit of a self portrait really especially with those hips LOL.
