Whales, Clamshells and More

As promised, here are the photos of

what I am sewing, whales and more!

The whale shots I have had to crop so you can see them

they were a fair way out and I obviously need a bigger

zoom lens for my Canon

The pattern I bought at the Quilt hanging

its all foundation pieced, love it

block 1 of  'mum's quilt' this is actually my block

I will collect hers when I am home next next

that it will look like finished, I have to make the 9 centre blocks 

and the triangles for her. 

3 more block for Erin's quilt

and clamshell progress, they are rather fiddly things..

not sure if I actually like making clamshells

so there you have it, thats whats in my sewing pile at the moment!

Foundation Piecing

At my monthly sewing group I was

given a foundation piecing pattern for the cutest 

little Christmas tree, so I took that pattern and

over the weekend I made 4 of those very cute trees

and as of today this is what those trees have become

a very sweet table runner for Christmas day

dh asked was I going to add a border, no was my

answer, but then I thought about it and

decided I would add a border.

After the border was added he asked was I going

to fold it over........um NO it will have

binding added after quilting.

It turns out he was talking about binding......

but I do like it more with the border.

quilting tomorrow and then I will sew the binding on

in front of the tv tomorrow night.

We are off to Ulladulla on Thursday hitting all the patchwork shops

I can find between here and there as I am also going to use the little tree

pattern to make the girlies some santa sacks.

Can't wait for December 1st so I can have this on our table :)
