Ahoy There!

Firstly Thankyou for all your comments on the Fuglies that I offered up for re-homing :) All the swap ones are now spoken for and I'll be drawing for the others on the 14th Feb.

I've finished the boat quilt for my oldest son. He seems quite pleased with it :)

I asked him to take it outside so I could get a picture of it and when I followed him out he was all rolled up in it, lying along the garden bench!

I'm not overly delighted with the quilting on this one. I decided to try out washable wool wadding and I don't think I used enough basting pins. I found it really hard to quilt and there are a fair few puckers and wrinkly bits that shouldn't be there, but my big boy is happy with it, and hopefully the wool will be lovely and warm in winter and cool in summer.

The backing is just random strips of blue and red that I had in my stash, but I forgot to take a photo of the back.

Happy Thursday
