it's been a long week...

 It's back to normal at work and it was very busy, which I knew it would be. I was so tired after work that I barely picked up a needle during the week.

Yesterday though I go to sit and Sew with Chooky and other bloggers via zoom. It was lovely to meet new crafty people and touch base with others I knew.  Thanks Chooky for the invite and for organising.

During the zoom I played with some hearts while contemplating what to work on next.  It was about time I got back to Spring bouquet so I fired up the iron and freezer paper templates and prepped the pieces for the final border.

This is the rest of the pieces just waiting for that final piece.... There is meant to be a little border around the centre but I didn't fancy cutting more little blocks and I have used up all the background fabrics so I may just pop in a light green instead...... but then again I might change my mind.

I really have loved making this quilt. It will be a '0' birthday present for my sister in law for next year.

She has seen pics of the centre and said that she'd love it. Perfect!!

These are the little hearts that got done yesterday.   I have quite a stash prepped so they will be an easy go to for a change.

I am waiting on some squishy mail and it seems to be taking forever!  It seems it's either quick as a flash or slow as a snail. 

Well off to glue down some applique bits. No new 9 patches to add to the tally this week maybe tomorrow when I am home from work.

happy stitching
