42 Is Finished

Just a few photos so you can see that I have finished 42 (Mrs Billings). I have even peiced the backing together.

As you can see the backing has lots of joins.

And here is the front. I am so very pleased with the way it has turned out. All finished now just waiting for Karen and Paul to get back from Spring Market in Kansas so 42 can be quilted.

Until next time happy sewing

42 (Mrs Billings)

Here is a photo of what the outside of my Mrs Billings looks like.Just a little preview.Because my Mrs Billings is different I have decided to call her 42 as in forty second cousin twice removed.

I know you have seen this quilt before but it now has its binding on so it is worth another look.Yes that bit of black that looks so out of place at the bottom of the photo are my toes.

Will She Won't She Will She Won't

Ah Mrs Billings you are keeping us on our toes. We all have a dead line to meet. As Meredithe quite rightly says Will She Won't She, my decision has been made.You will be pleased to know I will not be putting  a slab of fabric around the center section of my Mrs Billings. But I have found this treasure in my fabric library. It is a large scale floral print from Moda called Dominique by Sentimental Studios, the blue green background is a great match with the French General fabric I have already used. There is 4 metres in the
peice must have bought it as a backing fabric but it works so much better this way.

And yes I have cut all the fabric and started sewing, so now a few more hours at the sewing machine and hopefully very soon a finnished Mrs Billings. Maybe Mrs Billings cousin or daughter as she is a bit differant from Karen's beautiful quilt.

A Mixed Bag

Its been a while because so much has been happening around here. We bought a new car a real treat for us. It has taken up some much of my time. Going for long drives in the country, then having to wash and polish it after, I really cannot believe its in our garage. We found these Canadian Maples at a plant nursery in Silvan their colour was just amazing.

Now our eldest daughter and son have bought a house together so they will both be moving out of home and YES thats right I will be able to choose which bedroom I want for a sewing room.Yes I will miss them but just think my own room. No more having to move projects from room to room or packing my sewing away just because its tea time and we need the kitchen table. I have managed to put another round on Mrs Billings, not to sure where she will go from here. More borders or maybe a nice big slab of fabric and chicken out now.
