Bust Yo! Scraps QAL...le fin.

Well hello there.

I hope we all had a lovely mothers day yesterday?. I was woken up with cards and gifts and had a wonderful roast for dinner cooked beautifully by my husband. The rest of the day was spent putting binding on this quilt and continuing with other projects I have going which I'm sure you'll read about soon.

It was so theraputic, using up all those scraps, and I was surprised at how well they all seem to go togther, I think I had enough of each colour to be able to have a bit of consistancy and look like I planned it that way.

This is a triple whammy for me. Not only is this going in to the Just a Bit frayed QAL flickr pool but its also going into the stitched inn color scrap attack pool and as its been free motion quilted using the new to me loop de loop it also qualifys to go into my March FMQ challange. It was quite refereshing doing something other then straight line or stippled quilting and I will definitely be taking Anne Fahls advice and trying new designs in future.

I'm going to the sewing for pleasure show in Birmingham this Thursday so I'm sure i'll be replacing those scraps pretty soon!

    I didn't know Mothers' Day was in March in UK; it's the second Sunday in May in Australia and Father's Day is the first Sunday in September. When is Father's Day in UK?
