The rain still coming down - HARD.
A few more pieces sewn
et voilà (for my French followers). My medallion up to date and ready for the next instructions. The very dull day was getting gloomier so a quick pic and off to get some tea.

| Needs a little pressing |
Thought I would get a head start on the cutting for next time, so now have a pile of these
 |
| ready for friendship stars |
AND --- I am really feeling the love for these fabrics, so may repeat the process , just for comparison of course.

| so much more me |
Hope that you have all had a Happy Easter, and as much chocolate a you wanted.
Love it so far...... And the next lot of fabric looks interesting. My family have just left, the washing machine is busy, so I might just get busy in the sewing room to start my medallion. X x hope you had a happy Easter and the bunny was kind to you. X
ReplyDeleteAm tackling quilting a quilt for Miss S today! If i get it done, I will be cutting the sludgy colours.
DeleteThe Easter Bunny stayed away (thankfully!) - he knows I have a new frock to wear soon...
Too much chocolate from the Bunny for me, but I love the Sew Along. What happens next?

I joined because I keep saying I want to make a Mini, but stuff just gets in the way. It will make me focus on me a bit instead of work!!
