Can’t rush these things

Many years ago. 

About seven to be precise 

We did a half lap of Australia 

We headed west until we hit Adelaide and then turned right and straight up the centre 

We then turned west again  until we hit the coast 

And headed back down and finally across 

Back home. 

I bought tea towels at many places and decided I was going to make a quilt with them 

Well. Today I made the quilt 

I used 12 towels 

Trimmed them all to the same size and stitched them together 

Then. As my New Years resolution is to used up my stash 

I found my odd bods of wadding and stitched those together until I have enough to use on the quilt 

I pulled out another one of the flat sheets I had put away and pinned them all together 

Then I stitched in the ditch 

I’m  a little rusty. It took two rows before I remembered I should move the needle over. Oops 

But I finished stitching all the ditches 

I’ve now trimmed all the edges 

Removed the pins 

And tomorrow I’ll go hunting through my stash to see what I can use to make the binding 

Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I’ll have made the binding and machine stitched it onto the quilt 

Then all I’ll have to do is hand stitch the back of the binding 

Wish me luck 

I really don’t want to have to go and buy anything 

See ya xxx
