Treasures

We had sole charge of our two little grand-daughters for a week so nothing much happened on the blogs or in the sewing room until this weekend when they returned home to Wellington. It was a lovely fun week. Terry and I shared the day-to-day care and entertainment. Both girls were charming!

As you can see, the little A4 size quilt has now grown to twice its size with borders added. And its still not finished. It needs more quilting and I'm interested to see what sort of edge finishing it will have. I'm not sure about the red shadow under the bowl either - I might darken it down with some black paint.

My other project was to freshen up a recycled zipped sweatshirt. It cost me $8.99 at "The Mill" and its 80% cotton, in excellent condition. I appliqued a few foxglove spikes on the front and I think it will become a favourite this spring.
