Quiet

I have had a quiet week .

That is , no commitments & plenty of time to enjoy being at home .

Weather has been decidedly gloomy & perfect for sewing . 

This is becoming my preferred condition , am I becoming reclusive ??

Maybe .

Must be all that Simon & Garfunkel & hearing Sounds of Silence at the concert on Wednesday .

( They were soooo good )

Enough with the introspection ........ I have been a bag lady this week .

See the drawstring bag destined for H. S. in Maida Vale .

This is a prototype , I have been experimenting with the letter embroidery on my Pfaff & plan to make a similar one with monogram .

I now have the necessary embroidery thread & interfacing to do the job.

I have also finished quilting a baby quilt plus backing & basting the brother-in-law quilt.

If that's not enough I also made a few other bags ........ I sooo needed to do some catching up & am very pleased with myself .

My new quilting teacher has shown me how to baste a quilt without the back breaking & knee grinding experience I have been accustomed to on the floor !!
Oh happy days ! It works .
Tape the backing to the table & use giant clips to stabilise , pin..pin ..pin until you have pinned all  the quilt positioned on the table top & then slide pinned section to one side & do the same with the the unbasted side till all done.






Happy week to you all .
