I have added the orange outer sash to this one. and now to me delight have figured I can provide a backing with some polar fleece from my stash - yippee. Noe sure this is a good choice to begin quilting on, lots of slinky and stretch fabric which might be a challenge . . .
This is a record of creative making, mostly sewing. A space for me to share ideas and reflect on projects. There is the bonus to reach out to other makers. I am a sewist, starting in my teens, and sewing on and off throughout my life. Largely clothes, but with forays into quilting, and the domestic homemaking projects.

Round Robin # 8 Hand Drawn Portrait
A quick turn around on this one which I received two days ago. The centre is another hand drawn picture but this one took a tactile turn early on! Master 11 years old here has already declared he would love a quilt with the orange finger duster fabric too (the central orange sash).

Round Robin # 7 House
Today I farewelled the little house in the garden, and received the next project in the Round Robin series.
I have added the sash. Slightly challenging to contemplate with all the different colours at the edge. After a conversation with a fellow quilter I went looking for a batik fabric in blue, and found the perfect piece at Warkworth's little quilt shop. As is so often the case it was very enjoyable, and did not take as much time as I thought! This will be quilted by a talented quilter, and I turn my attention to the next project . . .
