Baking for the Jubilee

Hello all.

If I told you it was a bit wet - it really wouldn't convey how wet it is and it's coming down in sheets.

So, I've been a good girl and been to the gym this morning. And now I've baked Jubilee Crown Shortbread. Good job I went to the gym.

This is my second attempt - rolled out a bit thicker and allowed a little more room to spread. One of the cookie cutters doesn't seem to work as well as it can spread into the next part of the shortbread. But I can assure you they taste good.

I wondered if any of you had been to Malvern to the quilt show. Unfortunately I didn't make it, but hearing from friends who did, I missed a really good one. With this in mind I thought I'd let you know details for next year's competition are out. Why not give it a go? When you enter a quilt you do get a day ticket too. Be brave - go for it.

Take care and keep dry!

Dennis...

...well unfortunately Dennis died last month. Although we were very upset at the time we realise he had a very happy long life (18 years) and he spent his last day in the garden sunning himself . Everyone who came to the house met him - whether they wanted to or not; he was very friendly . So here are a last few photos of him looking like the fat happy orange cat that he was...

Hi - you can now find me at: sarahtextileart.blogspot.com

At long last ......

At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
