The quilt is now ready to go onto the doover prior to appliqueing flowers (managed to take a couple of terrible photos). Elizabeth didn't want appliqued flowers nor the frill as per the pattern, so I'll be appliqueing the green flowers cut from the border/backing fabric and I've added some ric-rac to match some cushions I made for her birthday.
Instead of making the pieced backing (suggested in the pattern), I've used yardage of one fabric and there's enough of the others left over to make "Citrus Crush" for a dear friend's daughter for her birthday/Christmas. Love slicing into a stack of material - one of my favourite parts of the whole quilt-making process.
Lunchtime stitching now is the Bronwyn Hayes Christmas Quilt in the recent Homespun magazines - this will be a WIP for quite some time and I've been stitching a bit more on Girls Day Out at home when watching tv.
Long weekend here in NSW and I'm hoping to trace/vliesofix another Vintage Valentine block or two - time that baby was finished. We're going to see a preview of "My Fairy Lady" on Sunday and on Monday Sharon and I will be having a sewing day making Prim Santa from Homespun 63 - looking forward to that.

Don't you just love Amy Butler fabrics. I must get back to my Girls Day Out quilt too. I had a real burst on it a while ago then got sidetracked with other things. I would love to see where you are up to with it. I would love to have my top done by the end of the year.
Looks fantastic Lynda.....enjoy your weekend, sounds most enjoyable...
