After a few weeks off after the quilt show, I am quilting again.
I have done some crocheting, attended a midwifery conference and tidied my sewing room! So its full steam ahead for me!

I have been making some quilted postcards, just a little fun, this is such a simple design, enhanced by some iron on sparkly chrystals.

My son was given a great suit by a Japanese exchange student he knows, the fabric is divine, so soft. I think it could be pyjamas, the detail above is on the sleeve.

I am trying the BSR on my Bernina 820, its interesting, I l keep on going too fast and it beeps at me! This is a quilt I am trying hard to finish, the brown spaces are hard to mark so I have made freezer paper template to iron on then trace round with a chalk marker, it is sewing quite nicely which I am pleased about. The ditching took forever and was quite difficult as I missed a few places and had to go back and fill the gaps!!
I am really happy with the quilting design, simple but effective. Thanks to my aforementioned son who helped with the choice of design.
Shame to be sitting under the air con quilting ! but it is good therapy for when you are tired and there's a G20 thingy on and everybody has either skipped town, or also staying at home, the kids are out and husband away working.
