Quilt Heaven Today

The weather was perfect today, bright hot sun and a brisk breeze. I pulled all my summer bedding out and put through a short wash to freshen it up. All my quilts are now dried, aired and put away,well all except this one, I will take it up later.

I think that this is my favourite, lots of bright colours, mostly from Bonnie & Camille for Moda. Log Cabin, my way, no dark side, just brights and white.


The giveaway quilt has the binding sewn to the front.


I am now halfway round hand sewing it to the back.

Last night I was late coming in from the garden so whipped up a fridge bottom pizza, in fact I made 3, the extra is in the fridge and will make either a fast lunch or dinner tomorrow. Very tasty and soooo economical.


There is no peace for the wicked they say and Ben has just told me in no uncertain terms that he NEEDS a walk, RIGHT NOW.

I hope that you all had as good a weekend as I have. Until next time, It will be the big 500.

    1. When I was buying fabric from the US I found a site that sold their collections at a very good price. Since the postal charges escalated, and the limit for importing dropped it is too costly. Never mind the fact that the PO charges me for the privilege of driving to collect my parcel.

  5. Fabulous quilt, I love the colours.
    I can't afford 'brand name' fabrics though (sigh), I don't do too badly though from charity shop finds.

    1. In my last 2 years at work I stocked up on fabric that I loved from the US, all at very reduced prices, some less than half price. Even with postal and other charges it came in much cheaper than buying in the UK. Then the "powers that be" reduced the value that you could buy before paying VAT and increased the postal charges and increased the handling fee. So I began hunting out bargains here and more than doubled my usage of upcycled and vintage fabric. I have never been lucky enough to fine new fabric in the Charity Shops though.

    1. It is, the sunshine helps and we should have this for the rest of the week. Rain should come in Thursday night/ Friday morning and I will not mind at all as the soil is very dry.

  7. We woke up to a mist and rather dowdy here but I'm pleased to say the sun has decided to come out to play and it's gorgeous outside. I think you are using the right colour for binding it is pretty. Pizza looks great and very appetising, Mr B makes ours, he's a good cook and baker, his lemon drizzle cake could hold its own amongst the WI lol. I love your energy and wish I had half of it, how is the ear now, clearing up I hope.
    Take care
