Fortunate finish
Fortunately, I have finished a quilt which means the Godzilla photo can move down the screen.
I made this top a couple of years ago but have just quilted it and done the binding. I "cut the bits out" using the log cabin die from Accuquilt. I've just been cutting another one out from my scrap bin in an attempt to use some stash.....
Godzilla
I keep a small bucket on the floor in my sewing room by the ironing board. I drop loose bits of thread in it and then empty it into the bin every so often.
Today, it contained this:
Liz, I'm surprised you didn't hear my shreek from across town........ Mark says I have a definite "spider shreek" - closely followed by me shouting his name.
This spider is definitely destined for eviction - as soon as Mark gets home.

I am keeping busy....
I have put together my Bonnie Hunter Leader and Ender project - this is Rick Rack Nines and is HUGE..... Mark had to stand on a chair in the garden and he is 6'2".
Ironing it will be a mammoth task, never mind quilting it.

Willow
Night night Willow. I will think of you everytime I punch out paper hexies for my English Paper Piecing as you always grumbled at the noise. Love you.

A finish - they are like buses.....
No finishes for ages and then two at once.
This is Ani's heart pattern and, with Ani's permission, I did a demo at Rocheberie quilters yesterday. I had the quilt made in 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" squares to show what it looks like in different sizes. I had printed instructions and asked for donations to Rugby Pawprints and with the £5 for doing the demo, I raised £16.43 - not bad! When people asked how much they should donate I told them 10p if they don't like dogs and more if they do.....

Bramble non event
Me and my big gob, I am now 7 blocks behind with the Bramble mystery......I kept up until June though - good for me!
I have been busy elsewhere. I am doing a demo at Rocheberie next weekend (with Ani's permission) and have been quilting my samples production line style....
