Life got a little bit busy but before I turn the calendar over to June, I must declare that I made my deadline!
After some intense stitching, the FG 9 patch was finished and given to my mother on Mother's Day.
I was so afraid that she would fold it up and put it away in a cupboard to 'save it'.
She was so surprised when she opened her parcel and wrapped the quilt around herself straight away.
During the afternoon she even dropped a little food on it, and I was very pleased.
It is hers now, to be used, and it's washable.
I enjoyed the quilting with perle cotton but had a tendency to pull the thread a little too tightly.
Also, I understand why I have several projects going at once.
I am soooooooooooooo sick of reds!!!!

I had to steal some time to play with some different colours.
This fabric was gifted to me and was the perfect temporary escape from red.
Another useful little zipper pouch.
