Today I managed to get my quilt top together and start to cut out some of the border squares before my son and grandsons came over for a swim.

| Next step, the borders. |
Earlier in the year I received a Pay It Forward gift from Terry in the USA. It was then my turn to ask three people if they would like a gift from me within the next year, to leave their names on my blog post. They had to be willing to then forward on three gifts to three other recipients after receiving my gift. The three people who left their names on my post were Wendy, Cheryll and Terry. Last week I sent my first gift to Wendy in New Zealand and she has received it so I can now post a photo. I have borrowed the photos from Wendy's blog as mine were deleted by mistake so thank you Wendy.
I sent a table runner, a mug rug with Wendy's initial , a 2014 Friendship Calendar, some chocolates and as I know by reading her blog, Wendy loves French General fabrics, I popped in a La Belle Fleur charm pack.
The fabric in the table runner is Vintage Modern and is a
Dawn Hay design. The stitchery is by Michelle Ridgeway from
Rag Tag Stitchin .
So one down with the next two almost ready to go, will be touch soon Cheryll and Terry.
To finish I will show a few purchases I made at the quilt show last week.
 |
| Natalie Bird purchases : wool felt, In My Garden book, labels, pattern. |
 |
| Wire hangers, ric racs, threads, buttons, scissors & felt. |
 |
| Fabric and panel for Jake's quilt. |
 |
| I couldn't resist this pattern as I have a Kasuri Jellyroll in my stash. Am going to add some sashiko stitching to the borders so bought a metre of the pre-printed fabric and some thread. |
As we were walking out the door, my friend saw some of these and as I love owls I decided to buy this one.
I bought a few more fabrics , patterns and my friend and I are going to make a chenille bag so will show them later.
Till next time Happy Stitching.
