On the home run

After thinking I might not enter a quilt in the Canberra Quilters' exhibition this year, I changed my mind the weekend before entries were due, mainly thanks to the encouragement of a friend. I didn't have anything anywhere near finished, and I just didn't want to go there with the stress and the frantic-binding-on-delivery-day thing again, you know?  



So my clams will be on show, messing with people's eyesight (hopefully) and minds (most certainly) when they wonder "why the heck did she do it that way?" and "again with the intense quilting over hand applique? This girl is nutso".

Excellent.

Unfortunately I am nowhere near a finished top. As in NOWHERE. So it's been getting worked on at every opportune moment this week. I'm determined to have the applique all done by Saturday night.

 

Oh Mariska!

 

And after the most fabulous night out with my sewing buddies last night it was straight to bed to stitch. I lasted a quarter of a clam and then crashed. Damn champagne.

I'm linking up to Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday this week. Even if it is technically Thursday over here. Go and check out the fabulousness!
