It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon here after a night and morning of rain - storm Ashley, the first of the seasons named storms. Fortunately for us it was not as fierce as expected although more rain on top of what we have already had will be looking for somewhere to go.
Friday was a dry day and we had a few errands in town in the morning. I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon catching up with friends so not much sewing happened. But I did of course do my Stitch Journal leaf for the day and the page is filling up nicely, if a bit too quickly!
I also cut the backing fabrics for my Magic Lantern runner which is now almost ready to layer up - just some little black feet to add first.
It does rather resemble a Dalek at the moment though!
In other sewing news I have been working away on quilting Wings and Pretty Things and have turned the first corner of the wide border.
And have been dipping into another white sampler piece destined for the tea and rust pot!
It will eventually be attached to the first piece and I am on the lookout for a suitable piece of driftwood to wrap it round.
So that is me all caught up, thanks to everyone else for their company and I will see you again soon.
A lovely variety of projects. YOur quilting is so consistent and neat..... keep safe in your storms!
