Friday was my birthday, to celebrate my quilting friends organised a sewing night. Three of us were making the same quilt. This one is from the Primitive magazine. It is handy having your sewing night in
your favourite quilt shop , because when you run out of the brown fabric for your spool ends, you can just go purchase more!
In the left hand bottom corner are 4 plain squares, these have a appliquéd house scene with wool felt.
This quilt is only 36" square.
We had a lovely shared meal, which I was told not to contribute as it was my birthday, lots of laughs & I got some nice presents, here are some of them.

This quilt is from
Whimsical's book "Just Spooling Around".
Kits for this quilt & Paddington's are available from
The Country Yard.
This quilt is called "Saltbox Farm'" designed by Natalie Bird of
The Birdhouse. The Country Yard had this as a BOM, but quickly sold out, but that is no suprise!
It was a bit chilly here in the north with a lovely frost, but I have a couple of my friends to keep me warm........
Happy birthday for Friday, what a nice way to celebrate it! I love the quilt you are working on, I immediately loved that pattern in the magazine. Your gifts are beautiful and the customer quilts are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes - looks like you had a good one. You know, if we get a choice in the matter, to come back as a cat belonging to a quilter must rank somewhere near the top! And I am so glad that Paddington has finally made a revival - he is such a nice bear and with such lovely manners!
