Second Sewing Day

Well the Altar cloth hasn't yet got the better of me - it was assembled this morning:


And now is quilted (!) and machine bound, and it's still afternoon!  I've just got to hand sew the binding, - I wonder which is the coolest room in the house?

Don't you love it when the binding is JUST right?

Just a few pictures tomorrow of it in church and then I plan to never show it again !

Day One Done

At the end of day one I'm a bit more confident i will meet the deadline - all the children's samples have been stitched and framed:

And all the alter cloth blocks have been stitched and joined in rows 

If you want to see the individual designs just pop over to the Fun With Fabric blog!

Dreaded Deadline

The Year 4 embroidery & patchwork altar cloth project needs to be ready for Monday morning to be presented to the school and blessed by the vicar.  We ran out of time at school so I have to finish the embroidery, cut the pieces to size, patchwork them, finish and bind the alter cloth, trim and bind and frame embroidery for each child, and make a thank you pressie for the mums who helped!
