What I am Working on Today..

November 22, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 38 Comments

I usually work on a Monday but had to change my work days this week so I can attend a conference later in the week. It has been wonderful having today off – I met my Mum for coffee; did some more Christmas shopping; and even managed to get some sewing done! I am sure I won’t feel so happy on Friday though when I have to work instead of being at home.

I had some request for progress shots of Sarah’s Bliss Quilt.

I completed most of the blocks last week during the retreat, and managed to finish sewing them together today. Just have to wait for the border fabric to arrive, and hopefully will have it finished for Christmas! This may well be the quickest quilt I have ever made!

The gorgeous Bliss Fabric came from Ladybug Quilts.
