Stitching again :)

Recently my sewing space has looked pretty much like this...

Desk 

Which isn't really helpful for productive sewing! So I stopped stitching and disappeared from the bloggy world for a while. (I need more hours in the day!)

However with my exams finished on Monday this week I have got back to my sewing. My pinwheel sampler quilt now looks like this....


Pinwheel Quilt

All quilted and binding on. Just need to handstitch the binding and bury a thousand threads and it will be done! Thanks to everyone for your quilting ideas, in the end it kind of evolved as I went along. Not sure about it yet but I will wait until I can lay it all out properly. (And thanks to Nicky for repeatedly telling me to just get on with it! :-) )

I have also finished my muslin for my Lonsdale Dress. I have learnt that I dislike the cutting process in dressmaking as much as I do in quilting but there ya go. Never mind! It did help that I managed to catch up with Neighbours in the process! I learnt lots of clever things when making my muslin and Tasia's sewalong posts are fabulous! I would definitely recommend them!

  1. The pinwheel is looking lovely - I like the combination of aqua and chocolate.
    Well done of nishing your exams - what were you studying for? How long a wait to know if you passed?
