Still here…

Happy Easter, everyone!

There are so many updates that I would like to share with you, which I promise I will do so over the next few posts ;> Hint: Shopping in Japan, Fabrics, Stamps and Bags!

Ok. Hubby just signaled that I have 10 mins before we leave for a party… so, lemme show you what’s keeping me up in the (late late) evenings.

Remember the Star QAL monster of a quilt? I finally outsourced the quilting as I was really NOT keen on fighting the Queen-sized quilt on my machine. I’ve decided to gift the quilt (not saying who’s the recipient now), so I’m really happy that the quilting was done professionally and that is also a motivation for me to get it bound and DONE before the end of April.

11 yards of binding

Hand sewing the binding down

And of course, I NEEDED to start on a new project. That would be the Cathedral Window quilt. Fortunately, I had the good sense to work on a wall hanging size. Man, it is really intense working on this quilt and I find it such a quirky little project! There is a crazy amount of handsewing but I have to look at the bright side of things: no backing, no batting, no quilting and no binding required. PLUS it really does look beautiful 😀

Alrighty! 10 mins up, gotta run now. Check back soon coz I will be sharing with you some fabric-licious buys I hauled back from Japan! 😀
