FNSI April

 And yes, you guessed it, more quilting on my Red Manor House. However, happy to say that I am now on the final narrow border so am hoping that next month I shall be able to report a finish!


Many thanks to Wendy for organising our Friday evening again - you can visit Wendy here to see who else took part.

Many thanks also to Dawn at Kitty Rose Cottage for her generous sponsorship of our Friday nights together. I was February's lucky winner and put my voucher towards this gorgeous selection of Tilda Chic Escape fabrics.


Fortunately for me, my niece from Melbourne had a visit to UK planned for just after Easter and so I was able to save myself a bit on postage too. We met up in the Forest of Dean for the day and she handed over my delicious package! Here we are with her two boys sitting in a badger on the Sculpture Trail.



Now, I wonder how I can use all those lovely fabrics...........

  10. Dear Lin, these fabrics are beautiful.
    It's so nice to have new fabrics and think about what to make with them... love it.
    By the way, I used the first two fabrics from the fabric market... one for a friend who flies model airplanes :-))) and one for me (from the rest of the fabric - all of it was completely used up)
    Happy week to you.
    And thanks for the nice photo of the family visit :-))
