Friday was a grey and windy day so after a trip to the supermarket we were happy to spend the day indoors. So straight after lunch I got on with my stitch journal - a new page now for December and we are all starry!
These are quick and fun to work.
I have been busy the last few weeks quilting the wide border of Wings and this week I came to the end of all the cross hatching. Just so happy with how it is looking.
Now to work on the outer borders. I spent some time yesterday marking up the feathers along one edge and in the evening made a start on the quilting.
We are in the middle of storm Darragh today. We had a red weather warning this morning expiring at 11.00am but I am pretty sure the winds have been stronger since we moved down to an amber warning! Strong enough to blow over my cast iron garden chairs anyway. Evidently we are to expect another 24 hours of strong winds so plenty of time to play in the kitchen - mince pies need to be made as we have finished the first batch - and with my sewing.
Have a good weekend every one.
OMG!! What GORgeous quilt Wings and Pretty Things is. Hope the winds die down soon and nothing else flies away. Take care. ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh, my. The quilt is a masterpiece. The soft colours give us a hopeful sense of spring. Enjoy your baking.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see progress on your quilting. Storms are great excuses to sit and sew.

Stunning is all I can say about Wings. Hope the weather settles for you soon. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI hope you've stayed safe though the storm - it was quite wild enough here, and our warning only reached amber.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I hope the storm didn't cause you any damage. Your quilt is stunning already!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blanket, the cross quilting is beautiful dear Lin. And then I also love your Advent calendar.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting the outside edge...you do such a great job.
Happy Advent season to you and yours.
Your quilt is coming along beautifully!! Hope you were safe through the storm, Lin, and able to calmly stitch and bake. xx
