I am having the time of my life right now. I am helping out, for a few days, at The Flying Goose Quilting shop. It makes my heart sing to be surrounded by glorious fabrics and to have a steady stream of crafters to chat to, absolute heaven.
I am still sewing and knitting at home, oh and the snuggly crochet blanket is at the border stage, I WILL take a photo when it is done.
I have cast on another Miette, photos a bit later when there is enough to see.
My sewing is going well, all the Dresden Fans are pieced and I am ready to start assembling the blocks. I still haven't though about sashing properly though.
In the meantime I spotted a tutorial for an easy and quick table runner, Jean Truelove really knows how to simplify beautiful makes.
This is complete, I have folded it to get it in shot, it measures 40" tip to tip.
This one is ready to be quilted, tonight,s job, and I have 2 more in the assembly line.
These will be going into the gift box, I already have names on them.
Now I have to love you and leave you, nearly time to go.
This evening I want to reply to your comments and have a catch up reading session.

The table runners are lovely and your happiness shines through this post. I'd love to work in a craft/fabric/wool shop but I'd spend all my wages before I'd earnt them ;) x
ReplyDeleteguilty as charged.
DeleteI've nominated your blog to share and pass it on. It's just a fun way to meet new bloggers and is totally optional. Details on my blog.x
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will be catching up, soon.
DeleteHave worked at quilt shops for years. While its work, I have to say it's the best fun I've had working, ever! Except in a barn, with horses! But it's a lot cleaner in the shop!
ReplyDeleteAll it needs is a few extra rooms, Yarn, Books and Kitchenware and it would be truly heaven.
DeleteLove the table runners, what beautiful gifts.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Jean Truelove make one on You Tube I had those cut out in a few minutes. They are so simple yet very effective.
DeleteWhat bliss.
ReplyDeleteI used to work in a papercrafting shop so I know just how you feel.
Hope your purse doesn't suffer as badly as mine used to...lol.
Hugs-x-
Not quite yet, but once the stash diving is done.....
DeleteYou have really gotten a good start on your gifts. Love the table runners.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
They are lovely, I will be making a couple for myself.
DeleteOne day I will visit Wales! Until then, I will read your blog.... and be inspired. I had better get started on gifts....
ReplyDeleteI hope that your "one day" comes along soon. meanwhile there is always something that needs making.
