Wow, I am sort of up to date with commitments, beautiful and cool here with a touch of autumn in the air, so I am going to indulge myself this afternoon! I'm really good at that!Above - I had a little play and made a hexagon pincushion - I can't truly claim it as my creation, as I'm sure I saw one somewhere? I used hexagon papers with 1" sides and fussy cut some pretty fabric - I think it quite a cute little swap addition!
At the weekend, I had a little retail therapy - bought a few more novelty fabrics and some ric-rac - can't find much around in cotton at all, but this should add a little fancy to some projects to come!
After I sew binding on a Comfort Quilt, I am going to do a little fine hand-quilting this afternoon - I do relax so much when I do it and I will muster up energy to get into the garden early tomorrow morning - it is crying out for help!
I have participated in Dolly Quilts Swaps 4 and 5 and now I am in on 6 - really looking forward to that! Never a dull moment!Happy stitching everyone - take care - hugs♥
I love your fun fabrics and the pincushion. I'm glad it's cooler there and will be more enjoyable to do a little work in the garden.
