That's how my blogging is going - nice to be back for a little chat! It is a beautiful day here and it has been a lovely week. I had fifteen of us for Easter Lunch on Saturday - lots of help so that was nice. Then Tuesday I had Girlfriends! for lunch and that was lovely - LPG yesterday, then taking Mum to doctor for checkup this arv.
I have made a start on my Zakka Bag - lovely linen background and now I am big-stitch quilting the front - it is quite nice to work on the linen. I have used an iron-on pellon as backing and Frixion pen to mark - this will press out with a warm iron.
I cut out my squares, lined them up accurately, gave them each with a little squirt of spray starch and then cut four at a time diagonally, a nice little time saver!
Hoping to make a start on a Stepping Stones Quilt over the weekend having gleaned inspiration from Rita of Red Pepper Quilts and Malka of Fresh Lemons Quilts. See, I have drawn up a trial block including my anticipated quilting lines, so I'm ready to go!
