It all started with a UFO ......
and I realised I didn't have enough light fabric to make the stars for them....
so I finished off the quilting on 2 of the Trapunto blocks... this is giving me good free motion practice
most definitely a time of going into la-la land....
then I mowed the dirt grass ....
and put the borders are on the butterfly garden quilt
maybe I should keep it as a flimsy... I like it from the back too!
this is a close up of the very pretty border fabrics
... there is a darker pink for the binding and such a pretty backing...
I am not going to hurry into quilting
I have done most of the stems on my star flowers ... now these leaves need to be needleturned on...
and then I started something new....
I also went to buy some background (this is some pretty from the Papillon range)
so now I can get back to my UFO that started off my weekend ....
can you tell I've been eating chocolate?
Righto.... gotta go... not sure why but I better do it .....
