Added the final two borders last night and sewed up the backing fabric for "Village".
The backing fabric is designed by Cathy Nordstrom for Andover fabrics - a nice garden for the Village houses.
My "Sampler Spree" book arrived on Tuesday - just in time for the start of the SAL yesterday (Wednesday). Sorted out a load of FigTree jelly roll strips, scraps, etc last night into bundles of colour in the hope of using as many as possible in the Sampler Spree blocks.
Couldn't help myself - had to make two blocks before going to bed. The plan is to make 10 blocks per week for 10 week with a specific colour designated to each week. Week 1 is blue (not navy, teal, aqua etc). FigTree's "Catalina" range has lots of lovely mid-blue fabrics. Not sure how I'll go keeping up with 10 blocks/week.
Last week's "Sewcialites" block is Compassion designed by Anne Sutton. One more block to go and that's the end of this SAL.
Gulliver is turning 6 this weekend - unbelievable how time passes even more quickly now that I'm a Nanna. Looking forward to spending some time with him and the rest of the family.
