Projects in hand

What do you think of this beautiful machine quilting?  It is just a taster.  My quilt is back from Isobel Hall who has quilted it using her Longarm Quilting Machine and I am thrilled to bits with it.  I will take another photograph tomorrow of the whole quilt once I have found a way to display it.

I have been asked to display the quilt at the Annual Quilt Show of the Wessex Quilters which would be a real honour and I am just as proud as punch!

Also underway is a project which I started in Bath on Saturday - a Christmas Tree skirt.  This is another taster as it isn't being shown to full effect but might just wet your appetite.

The photograph doesn't really give a clue as to what the skirt really looks like but the sparkle and glitz are lovely and I intend to do some more beading on it to add to the general sumptuousness of it all.

Feeling a bit wobbly today.  Dick and I were savers in the Icelandic bank that has gone phut!  I couldn't remove the money as I am still waiting for Letters of Probate.  Just hoping now that we get something back.  Suffice to say that there were several years of ISA money in there!
