I'm still working away on machine quilting my RSC bordered four patch quilt, I had hoped to get it finished this week, but no. If I'm honest, I've been out every day this last week, so not much time at all sitting in front of the sewing machine. Never mind, perhaps I'll get this project finished next week.
Not finished yet
Gemma still seems to find any quilt in progress I've left on the sewing machine cabinet at the end of the day. It's so thoughtful of me to leave the quilts out for her to snuggle up on, she thinks.
So comfy, thanks Mum
Remember the pile of fabric I got from Jude recently? I've washed it in the tub, just as well I washed it by hand as the colour from a couple of the solid fabrics ran everywhere. The pieces were dried outside in the sunshine, and are now ironed, folded, and put away. I've got plans for a couple of these fabrics, but not for a wee while yet, watch this space.
All washed now and ready to use
I went to see the movie "Sense and Sensibilty" last week, and really enjoyed it. Although I had read this book previously, I couldn't quite remember it so I looked it up on Google to get a quick overview of the characters and plot. I do love a good period film, and really enjoyed the film. So much so that I will re-read my copy of the book again, when I get though my current library books.
I loved this film, and recommend it

Your 4-patch quilt is coming along so well--I really like that flowery border you've chosen, Jenny. Hugs, Julierose
I like how you are quilting the 4-patch - simple but works perfectly to outline the blocks.
Your quilting looks great on the 4 patch quilt, Jenny! Machine quilting takes me a lot of time, too. I don't blame Gemma for wanting to cuddle up on it - this quilt looks very cozy!
Lovely to see progress on your quilting. That wavy serpentine stitch is so useful.
Being out every day is not a bad thing! The quilting will be waiting for you when you are less busy.
sometimes we just get too busy to keep up with our quilts. I like the blocks in that first photo you show.
I’m sure you will have the quilt finished before long. Much more fun to be going out and about.
I'm smiling about you being out and about every day. That's not a bad thing! It's just not conducive to finishing projects, and I sure get that! It's nice to be at home too, right? How fun to see a movie (but why don't they stop the film for potty breaks?) and revisit an old favorite. I have the 1995 DVD version of "Sense and Sensibilities" with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and Hugh Grant. It's a good one.
Smart move to wash the fabrics. I am finding more and more that fabrics are running.
Looks like you have had a very social week. Lovely!
Gemma seems very pleased with the quilt left on the sewing cabinet. Those freshly washed and folded fabrics from Jude sound full of possibilities for later!
