Quilt top pop

On Thursday I popped into ‘The Reject Store’ as I got a catalogue dumped into the mailbox and saw a $25 sewing machine on the back page. I managed to buy the last one, and after a few teething problems it’s going great guns (literally, it sounds like a machine gun!)

I had a go at a few drawstring bags before cutting the pieces for a quilt I’ve had in mind for a while. When you can’t sleep very well and the Da Vinci Code is on the TV you might as well spend the time cutting up strips of white fabric! I plan on using a really soft white flannelette fabric from Spotlight on the back and red thread to quilt along the white. It will also have a white border.

There’s also a little progress on the granny square blanket.

They had restocked the shelves at Spotlight and I got two balls of the yellow and two of the white which I got 4 squares out of. Hmmm ‘High Society’ is on, gotta go!
