With my five-oh only 8 days away there's no chance of making a quilt in time, so this will be a longer term project me thinks, and may have to wait until further into the year before it even gets started!
Why? you may ask. Well a bit like Laura, I'm currently working on a BIG project - the Mrs Billings Coverlet, and working towards a deadline of end of May. There are 4 more borders to do and it's all being hand pieced. Here's where I am at the moment.
So I can't really start anything new just yet, but my brain is toying with an idea!
But to help celebrate my birthday, my lovely friends gave me a quilt last weekend (this birthday is happening well before the date - and loving it!!). Like Nadine, I love baskets and these wonderful women gave me the perfect quilt.
Aren't I lucky?!
So at the moment I'll be checking out what everyone else is thinking about and planning, while stitching away on my Mrs Billings. And I'll just let my Jubilee idea brew awhile.....!
Happy stitching
