Blogtoberfest Day 29 - Quilting....

Thank you for all the lovely comments about Milly's quilt. She is a little poppet and when I stop to pause she will be six, six, six? on Monday I am puzzled about how that exactly happened. The time has zoomed by. I am still patting the quilt when I go into her room. Still have the label to put on it and the "official" photos to take, but it is finished and on her bed.

I seem to have failed in Blogtoberfest this year. Through no fault of my own! LOL No, of course not Helen. Our laptop died a few weeks ago, so I organized that to be fixed on Tuesday. Then when I went to pick it up Wednesday I thought I'd drop off the PC's hard drive to get cleaned out as it has been making a weird buzzing noise. Tag team on the computers but when I got the lap top home I discover it hasn't been fixed and so it goes back Thursday. I got the PC hard drive back in return, go home and get Daz to hook it all up to discover that wasn't even working now! As Daz exclaimed, "Where did you find this guy Helen?" So first thing Friday on the phone and he actually came to our house to fix the problem. So if you are still reading after this paragraph, thank you! I guess on the plus side, no computer to distract me, meant I could turn my attention to my quilt for the EBDQS#4. All quilted..... blue swirls and some echo quilting. Just have the binding and the label to go.

I did have two lovely mail parcels arrive this week. 14 lovely half yard cuts of Kona Cotton from a lady on Etsy called SimplySolidFabric. Her range is amazing! Super fast shipping too. And she puts a little sticker on each cut so you know if that is pear or leaf or olive that you are cutting.

Swirls and dots from Twiddletails.To pop in the stash. As you do......

Thought you had been quiet for a while Helen. We rely on our computers so much I nearly hyperventilate to think going without mine. As someone restricted to the home I would suffer without mine. And thanks for adding the links to the places to buy fabrics, it helps me a lot.
Happy sewing.
