Last "official" day of school holidays here and so what does a girl do? Pack the children and the sewing machine in the car and drive 30 minutes to her sister's house to have a sewing day! I got a whole heap done on the Dissappearing 9 Patch quilt which was fantastic. I am loving working on this one at the moment, its coming along nicely. Thank you all for your lovely comments about it in my last post too. Like any blogger, I love getting comments, its such a buzz to know somebody out there reads!So here we are, Andy is plowing through her raggedy edges quilt for Cate's bed. We had a helper "Little Black Cat" who kept lying on my work and I am not a cat person, I had to keep poking him to make him move! We had a lunch break where we went to Textile Traders where I got some fabric "just because" but I also picked up some quilters masking tape which I have never used before but is just perfect for a guide for me to do the border of this quilt. Just simple lines about 1.5 cms apart. Time to start thinking about the binding colour..... yellow or dark blue?

What a great idea - I love sewing with company :)
Looks like you had a great time. You tow don't look like sisters. That will be Charlotte and Lucy. Lucy taking after you Helen with the lovely red hair.
Looks like fun. I miss my sister *sniff*. The straight lines look really effective too.
OMG ~ I look terrible!
Can you put up one of your wedding pics?
Wow looks like fun. But where are the drinks? I like that kitty got a feature in the photo as well.
I see reds!! Wish my sisters were into sewing...oh well Helen you make a good subsitute...:) I'm still loving the d9p and vote for a dark blue binding...quilting tape...never heard of it...makes for good quiltitng without marking the fabric...enough dribble...catch you later!
I love this quilt Helen, I told my mum to check out your blog to see it as she's looking for a new quilt to try and this one is fabulous.
For what it's worth, I vote for dark blue binding too!!
Just found you on the EB Sewing Buddies ring and thought I'd drop on by.
Ahem, my cat loves to 'help' too!
Love a good sewing bee too :)
Looks great Helen - I look forward to making one myself. The cat looks gorgeous too - I used to have one exacvtly like him and she was very stubborn about moving off whatever I was working on!
I think dark blue would set off your quilt beutifully.
Oh look at the naughty kitty - I am with you Helen and not a cat person either! The d9p looks great - I will have to give it a try one day and yes - where are those drinks!
