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 .....

Busy weekend. Your quilting is wonderful.
So a weekend fueled by a little chocolate sure turned out a lot of gorgeousness.
Love your butterfly garden quilt, you sure picked pretty colours for that one, and how could you resist such a cute bag.
Enjoy stitching that UFO that started all the activity.
Now what was that you were saying about MY stash of easter Choccies??? Love all the stitching you've done and the Butterfly Garden is just so gorgeous.
I'd need chocolate too if I had worked that hard!! You have got such a lot done and all your projects are beautiful.
That chocolate has certainly given you heaps of energy. I love every bit of sewing - clever you.
Wow, your FMQ is just amazing! can't wait to see more of your trapunto. And as for everything else... you got so much done and it's all gorgeous!
