I've not been doing a huge amount of stitching the past few days, I've tried but I keep getting interrupted. I've made a couple more star blocks and stitched a couple more stems on the French Bouquet quilt, so not much to show you. So I thought I'd show you a block I began at a Sue Spargo workshop I went to last year at Anni Downs' shop, The Home Patch.
Ooh yuk! I wish I'd cropped that horrible batting from the top of this picture,lol. Definitely not a professional publisher!!
I really must finish this, I only have 1 wing and 7 circles to applique and as little or as must embellishing as I feel like adding. I love the colours and the unique style of Sue's work. She is a generous teacher and the quilts she brought to show us were to die for. I used cotton instead of wool for the background fabric. I really haven't decided what to do with it, maybe a pillow.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend and for those in the US a lovely Thanksgiving.
Bye for now,
Rowena
