As always September is a full month and it has gone so quickly.....
However..... I am thrilled to have finally finished the top to Civil War Bride!
It is about 70" square and of course still needs quilting and binding..... I would like to hand quilt but am unsure whether it will ever get done if I do that!! I need backing first before I have to decide!
I looked back at my blog and saw I had started it in January 2021.
My embroidery sampler has grown a bit this week and I have finished the first 'page'. There are a few stitches I haven't done before as well as different uses - like the running stitch as a filler for the heart and those wheels needed a youtube viewing to learn.
Today is a quiet day at home and I want to play with the border for Gossip in the Garden....
That's it for this week.... I have a sewing retreat day on Saturday so I hope some progress will be made on my Avenue's quilt....
Have a lovely weekend...... xx

Bravo, Fiona! You have an heirloom there. A masterpiece! I love the addition of the butterflies. Sweet touch. I'm sure you can hand-quilt it. What's a few more years of work? Haha. Enjoy! ;^)
