not sure how practical the white will be
these new mums, don't they know about the staining powers of carrot puree....
I just need to finish sewing the binding on them. I can't decide how I feel about hand sewing, in some ways it's so lovely; it's quiet, it's more sociable, you can sew whilst watching tv, or at the children's swimming lessons, and it's quite nice to have a slow pace, but in other ways it's soooo slow, and whilst my machine can make lovely even stitches I can't and it never seems very strong.
but a quilt with a hand stitched binding always seems like it's finished with love, so I guess there's nothing for it.....
and afterwards there's always a cup of tea to revive you - this tea cosy's for a friend, J asked last night after the tea went cold, why we don't have a tea cosy, and do we know anyone who makes them... I guess that's what he's getting for Christmas then!
I've just realised I've missed by a couple of days my blog anniversary, can't believe it, a whole year, it's been such a joy to make so many friends, so thank you, all of you, for making it a truly special year, and in true blogger style, help yourselves to a piece of anniversary cake.
