some finishes

It feels good to have some finishes...
I finished the raspberry ripple and am on to a blueberry ripple for my other niece. I am enjoying working on these on the cold nights we are having recently.

I couldn't wait to bind my mini that fiona quilted and it was bound and hanging in no time.
Another finish was this item from my ufo list. I can't remember what month I chose to work on this but it only got to the top stage. With my new walking foot I was able to run some simple quilting lines and get this finished. I am loving having it on the table. I am so glad it didn't become the dilly bag it was intended to be.
The carnation in the pic is from our garden. I am not a fan of carnations but this one is quite pretty.
Not much other crafting happening at the moment. I have two more Sweet William blocks prepped ready to go and I am looking forward to working on them.
Hope you are having a great week
cheers
Marina
