Another WISP Done

The Spotlight quilt is completed. I finished stitching the binding last night while watching Jam and Jerusalem on the ABC. This is a new English comedy with lots of great female actors such as Dawn French, Maggie Steed, Joanna Lumley, Sue Johnson and Jennifer Saunders playing the members of a women's guild in a quaint English village. Love these sorts of shows.



I photographed some more WISPS this morning including this Redwork Pincushion from Picaninni Patchwork. I seem to remember purchasing this at a craft fair at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne a few years ago. All the redwork is done so it shouldn't take long to finish.



Also snapped this flimsy made from Christmas fabrics. This was only started last year. I have a big box of country style Christmas fabrics and this quilt was an attempt to use some of them up. I followed a pattern called Streak of Sunshine on Bonnie Hunters website, Quiltville Custom Quilting.

    Yum! Love the Spotlight Quilt and so nice to see it finished. I'll be down soon to take a hands on/close up look! (Just to make sure its not too perfect lol) :o)
    Tali talked about her fabrics lots yesterday and can't wait to get started. I think Jesse's even keen to give it a go. (gosh he's a beautiful biy!) Not sure if letting Micah too close to the sweing machine is a good idea just yet - might get him to do his 'own' stitchery, as he was always so keen on'helping' you with yours.
