Well a week has flown by and I have been so busy making almost every night, that apart from reading blogs, I have hardly had a chance to blog myself!
But lots to share with you, starting off with a sneak peak of some hand quilting of my quilt using the Trade Winds collection...
I also wanted to share with you a handful of pictures of some quilts that I saw at an exhibition...yes, a quilt exhibition came to Jersey -hooray, we aren't a quilting wilderness after all!!
The small but perfectly formed exhibition was a collection of Welsh Quilts. For more details you can see this link http://artscentre.je/event/antique-welsh-quilts-exhibition/ and here are some pictures...
And here is my favourite, an English Paper pieced quilt, made up of 17,600 hexagons! It must have been a lifetime's work.
Some close up's so you can see better...

| Amazing! |
Thank you to my lovely friend Emma for the photos, and for a peaceful afternoon of quilts, coffee, cake and most importantly, no children!
Now for a mini make to share with you. I had one teeny tiny scrap of the Little Red Riding Hood character left, so I just had to make myself a little pincushion.

And last but not least, this weekend I purchased this darling little basket. I can now move my little projects around the house and go to craft club with all my essentials in style.

| This basket was the bargain of the weekend :-) |
In other news, we have had a lovely day today enjoying the sunshine out and about in Jersey. Here are a couple of my favourite shots of the afternoon.

| Aren't they just soooo cute!! (But a little too thin perhaps??) |
I hope you all had a great weekend too :-)
