3rd week of May

Another big(ish) week.... DD was back in hospital for a few days with a bowel obstruction (not nice but managed to sort out without more surgery which is a big plus)  Her son (Widget) had a birthday and 2 days later passed his drivers licence so is now independently on P plates.  

Anyway ...... in between some crafting has happened...

I did the machine part of the binding for Wings and Pretty Things, it still needs to be hand sewn down...

Finished the quilting for my Quilting Mice,  stitched and put together some years ago.  It's quite small, would work for a wall hanging.  

The pictures are quite sweet and show mice in various stages of making a quilt..... personally I have no fondness for mice .....

I am focussing on my crochet in the evenings, this blanket is 2/3 of the way through - as you can see quite a few ends to stitch in aswell....

I made up enough blocks to put together this Scrappy Trip Around the World quilt top.....  Last year I had gathered a bunch of strips from Quilt Club and I've been wanting to get this out the way.

I used this tutorial by Bonnie Hunter - it's a great scrap buster for 2 1/2" strips

Another quilt has been put on the frame, this one will be an all over design.  

First fire of the season has been lit, not really that cold but the fire is comforting.

Righto, Gotto Go..... I'll go and get a bit of that quilting done ...

Have a lovely rest of the week....xx
