it was a good day
Life has been a whirlwind recently, with such a busy schedule and not much time to play. Then a funny thing happened, in the way that sometimes things just come together and everything works out to give you just what you need. First up though I'm going to show you the quilt I made for the Sewing Quarter last week, using fat quarters of Kaffe Fassett and a simple HST layout from Modern Baby Quilts by Fons & Porter. The dark background fabric allows the prints to shine and gives it a bold, modern feel.
I really like this action shot of the quilt blowing in the wind. Wouldn't a wonky chevron quilt look cool?!
So a couple of days earlier I received an email invitation to a beauty event, not something I would usually have time to attend but I realised that I would be travelling back into Manchester on Saturday afternoon anyway, and decided that it would be so good to do something just for me! That's a rarity and I was intrigued.
Triangles
It is always good to challenge yourself with different techniques. This table runner has y-seams, angled edges and a few points to keep pointy. Funnily the thing that I struggled with the most was the self cover button, turns out I had the back piece the wrong way round!
new additions
My weekend started when I got back from work on Saturday, after tea we all went to the new Vegan dessert parlour! It has a great atmosphere and we did play the funny Jenga dare! The ice cream was amazing, look at all the yummy flavours:
Despite the ice cream it's definitely not summer anymore, Autumn is upon us and that means boots! Mine were worse for wear so I got these snuggly replacements, possibly the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.
Of course there was some sewing happy mail too. I couldn't resist the adorable DMC + Kircum mini cat hoop necklace from Cloud Craft - there's also regular wooden hoops with ears, and rabbits and bears! Along with the kit I got some felt balls, trimmings and ribbon. Random and pretty!
I also want to formally introduce our newest member of the family, this is Teddy:
She was adopted from Cat's Protection and has a lovely nature. She's been very timid and has found hiding places all over the house! Gradually though Teddy's settling in, she likes being near me, happily sits next to me while I sew (or type!) and is great with the kids. It's so nice hearing purring again.
Hope you all have a great week!
