I quilted it by machine.
here is a shot of the back...
On Monday DH and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. While DH was at work I spent some time in the city. We had beautiful dinner at a French restaurant that evening.
Below are a couple of photos taken around the city,
The Yarra River and the city looking towards Flinders Street Station from Southbank, Melbourne.
Today I made 2 small sewing projects. The first is a pouch for earbuds. I found a great tutorial here.
I will be definitely be making some more of these!
This afternoon I made this little purse using these instructions.
I will be making more like this too!
After a few days of rest my elbow is much better! Thank you to everyone who expressed their concern.
I am looking forward to lots of hand stitching!!
If you have been reading my blog for the last few months you will remember the quilt I put together for a young couple expecting their first baby. The young couple are now the proud parents of a healthy son! :)
Lastly, the best news of all! Thank you very much to everyone for your thoughts and prayers for my friend who is in hospital. The good news is that her health is once again improving! She is still a very ill lady and has lots of rest and physiotherapy ahead of her. Hopefully she will be home for New Year.
Merry Christmas everyone! :)
