I've done as much quilting on A Wave of Nostalgia as I can. I have no deep blue thread for the border so it's laid aside until I do. Here's a peek at what I did instead.


Blocks are 12.5cm. For the centres, I used nine labels from a small strip of them I picked up at the quilt expo a few weeks back. I had no idea what to do with them until last night, reading a Sharyn Craig book I have on loan. Can you guess?

One long seam and some half chevrons top and bottom and then I can sew the borders. It's having border top and bottom in the half chevron fabric-- a rich navy. I thought I might have another finished top by now but my seams did not want to match today, however carefully I pinned.

I didn't miss them flowering!

My African lily flowers over a newly scrubbed bit of yard.

Warm today. I've been offered a picnic at a hillside garden--sounds like fun!

Sun and no wind.
Another small wallhanging (that I've been promising myself for ages) pieced.

I would add 'not bleeding to death', as I was scared might be the case at 6 this morning, but that's TMI. Some days, I think guys have it easy.

I don't like Kaffe Fassett fabrics. It causes some shock when I utter this 'blasphemy' in a quilt shop but I think they're either/or fabrics. You love them or hate them. It came as a surprise to get the new Quilt mania and like the cover quilt only to discover it's ALL KF fabric. It's the colour shading. There's a shop offering a kit but €120 is too much for me.
