BORDERS

Most of my patchwork and crochet projects need borders. There is a great sense of satisfaction when I hook or stitch the last bit but then I realise that the project still needs more ....a border or 2 or 3. The fun? begins. I usually find myself putting these projects in the UFO drawer. Well, this time I went to a patchwork shop as soon as possible to select border fabric for my angel quilt. No UFO happening with this quilt! I came home with 3 fabrics. Turquoise for the first border about an inch wide, pink for the outer border 4 or 5 inches wide, and purple ( yes, I had to have my fav colour in there somewhere), for the binding.

Now I am stressing thinking about cutting all that fabric and trimming the edges of the quilt to make it even. 

I showed you the border fabric for Little Lucy, so that will be 2 quilts nearly finished. Ofcourse, my Dune crocheted blanket will need borders too but at least I have plenty of yarn handy to choose from. Here is my blanket awaiting borders.

I have been enjoyed piecing " A Gardener's Journal" quilt. Part A and B are now complete and I am working on more as you can see.

I finished a wonderful book about the Vietnam orphans airlift to Australia and other countries during the Vietnam war. Unfortunately, the first official airlift came to a tragic end which could have been avoided. 

My sewing room is becomming a bit dark now so my sewing time has come to an end today as I have not yet replaced my lamp.
