Finally another Finish!

Finally I have a finish to add to the tally of the Winter 2012 - UFO Group!
It’s my Mini Springy Batik.

In the end I used it to practice free motion quilting and serged the edges instead of binding it (as it’s not much bigger than a FQ). I may bind it down the road, but for now my little human is plenty fine with it not being bound ;) I enjoyed doing the FM quilting but can’t imagine doing it on anything much larger with my current set up :(

In action already! :)

As you can see it’s not much bigger top to bottom than my ironing board.

Now to decide how to quilt Baby Lola's stack & whack quilt. Seeing as going the FM quilting route isn't going to be very straight forward at this point, due to my current sewing set up :(

Oh Sunny Day!

I must say as I sit here watching the Winter Olympics, I look out the window and feel like it must be a recording on the TV. My neighbour has just mowed her lawn, the neighbours are washing and waxing their trucks and oh so many different kinds of flowering plants are budding out and blooming.

I wonder what month is it really?

I feel compelled to Mai Tia on Sweetness and head out for a walk. But she's napping in her swing so here I sit watching the Olympics and starting a blog for moments just like this.
