Yesterday I sewed up the Ruffles 'n' Rows quilt (
Natalie Bird design) using the lovely, bright LakeHouse Dry Goods fabrics I bought last week and fabrics from my stash. I made the suffolk puffs while watching "Young Victoria" and "Elizabeth" last night. "Elizabeth" is so gruesome in places but Cate Blanchett is sensational.
The quilt is too long to photograph is one go on my design sheet. I'll get a better photo when the quilt is finished. The quilt is for my great-niece for Christmas.
The backing is made up of wide strips of some of these fabrics.
One of today's jobs is to sew these pieces together, sew on the suffolk puffs tonight while watching tv and another is to find the requirements for a class I'm going to on Monday with Deborah Louie, to learn about all the features of my Aurora 440.
Also finished a quick tablerunner out of Fig Tree's Whimsy this week. It will go onto the Christmas present shelf. The pinwheels are from charm squares leftover from another quilt I have cut out and hope to start soon.
We are going to a bbq at Elizabeth and Matt's place tomorrow - Elizabeth is cooking the cake for her Red Cross fundraiser and there will be crowd there to help eat it.
Beautiful weather today - hope it stays around for a while.

Gorgeous quilt and lovely tablerunner. Looking forward to seeing the whimsy quilt and how you ended up making it.
Yep, Cate is stunning in Elizabeth, such a gruesome age.
