A bit of play time...

My Grandaughter Fieron and I had a day to ourselves today... we were having a bit of a play day .... I found a pattern for a Christmas wallhanging over on Quilting Gallery ..... mine is still a work in progress, I think I'll needle turn my fabric.....

But Fireon's are raw edge fused applique and are already sewn down with a glittery thread..... Fieron got to use Grandma's electric sewing machine to zigzag the strings herself and she cut out some of the fabric circles on the 'Go' cutter ...... we hope to get the borders cut and attached very soon.

Back to Quilting!

It's been a long while since I did anything to do with quilting....but I did recently take the plunge and design an easy quilt in EQ7....I like simple piecing which will showcase the finished quilting design! I think this is a jewel box or stepping stone design.

Chose my fabrics.....I'm using a layer cake to give a more scrappy look...there is still lots left over for another project.

Even used my 'Go' cutter for the first time proper....

And cut out the body of the quilt......

Then made a start on the piecing.....

I think I may change my mind and go with a darker pink outer border to give a warmer look???
