Update 17th August (ok, posted 19th...)



So, I just wanted to post my latest update on Nefertiti...she seems to be coming along really fast. Perhaps that is as I am doing one bit at a time, and not like normal one colour at a time...I am trying to spend the days working on my craft room, and the evenings stitching in front of the telly... I have a pic of the pillow case I am making for mum - just please remember it is my first try at patchwork, and it is VERY simple indeed...I do like the colours though...wanted to give her something happy. I am planning on stitching along the seams before finishing off...some nice broad stitch to make sure nothing falls apart. Once this is done and I have sent it off, I am going to play around a bit more...I have watched A Quilt in a Day on an american channel...sometimes it is only about farmlife ( which I realised after recording a few episodes which showed no quilting whatsoever...) but some of them are gems for a beginner like me:) So I am going to play around a bit...I think I am going to work on Christmas pressies or at least ornaments...I know it may be early, but normally I realise end of November I have a mountain to climb...this time I am trying to be early:)
