A very productive week! (see, I can do it if I put my mind to it!).
Table Runner for a birthday gift - finished. Un-ironed, but finished.
I even hand-stitched the binding!
All rolled up and ready to take to the party.
My skirt is also finished. Using this one I made in April, I embellished it with circles cut from upholstery samples (layered in 3's) which were then sewn into 2 circles. Then I bound the bottom edge in binding made from one of the upholstery samples.
I'm also wearing my new boots (yay!!).
And the most tedious of all the tasks - tucking in all the ends of the Ripple - was completed on Tuesday (whilst the 2 boys I baby-sat slept peacefully for 2.5 hours!!!). The parcel was posted on Wednesday, and surprisingly arrived in Swan hill the very next day!
I even had time to cut out circles for a new quilt...despite having several unfinished quilts calling my name for some assistance! Naughty, I know, but it's the thrill of the new...
