This year the Wellington Quilt Guild has their bi-annual exhibition. I have been working on my design for a LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGG time and I have been really looking forward getting stuck into it. I only have until mid-August to get it finished to give me time to wash and block it before submitting it for the show {panic!}
Unfortunately just before Christmas my extended family had some dramas, resulting in my quilt having to take a back seat while I made a little boy a comfort quilt. That quilt is done now. I made him a family tree, with fat green caterpillars for each of the members of his family and bright yellow butterflies for family members who have passed away

| L's Family Tree |

| Pretty and straight stitches! |
 |
| Even properly labelled |
In the interests speed I used two techniques I usually don't - printing the label rather than hand sewing or writing it, and machine finished binding. Both turned out much better than usual! Yay, I don't mind sending them out to others when they actually look up to my usual standards heh.
Which means.....
I can start putting thread to fabric on MY project....

| Shhhh secret squirrel |
And no, I am not allowed to relax quietly in the sun by myself. I have to have company with sharp bits

| Die hammock, die! |
Cheerio.
