Easter Weekend Sew In......Part 1

Instead of our usual FNSI this month Wendy decided to have a EWSI... A fun weekend of sewing where we can join in whenever it suited us...I had an early start on Friday and got my Land Down Under Quilt  designed by Toni Alexander under the machine to get it quilted...






I got most of the blocks stippled when hubby came in and asked if I could hem his Aussie Flag before putting it on our flag pole.

I set up my little Jamone and fixed it for him...







Hubby needed a haircut so I got it done before he disappeared into his shed...



Finally I got back to quilting and when I had completed all the blocks started doing the borders by quilting in the ditch of the Flying Geese...
Such a slow boring  job so only did one side before I gave up for the day....

Must away now and get ready for bed... Part 2 tomorrow.

Happy Easter to all and stay safe.

Hugs  Maria ❤

  6. I'm glad to see that you've been able to get back to your machine after a bit of a break. Great that you had a most of Friday to make really good progress on your quilt. Husbands and their demands - neat that you were able to fulfil both requests though!!

  7. You did well to get through the stippling bits - yes the ditch stuff is boring.
    Handy to have a spare machine ready to do such trivial jobs!

  10. Looks like a successful day, getting lots done. Well done with the quilting, if I had to do it on my domestic machine, I don't think they would get done at all.
