Had a great day yesterday with friends over to play and after attending to a mending job - it was quilt related, repairing broken stitching on a section of binding so not evil mending - I moved on to finishing an in-progress quilt by stitching down the binding...
First finish of the Miniature Family - Stars - 10" square
What? You expected something larger for a day's work! *LOL*...
Would love to report the finishing continued but that was it really...I did move on to the next miniature to finish off the hand quilting but failed miserably...what I learnt was I don't do hand quilting well distracted by good company!...so after a few reverses admitted defeat...
I've actually two finishes for OPAM for May but the other quilt is drying after finally been persuaded to take its bath, the photo session is booked for later in the day...
The weather here is so woeful I'm thinking it's a great day to hibernate in the sewing room with Chookyblue and join in her Chookshed birthday celebrations...
Happy Stitching...

Cute! Lovely little stars (probably not, but that's what I see).
Surely one finish for the day is enough.
Love the mini and I see stars too.
gorgeous finish.
hope you had a good day sewing with us today.........
Very cute mini. Everyday blocks made small are just so cute. Sounds like the first day of winter delivered good sewing weather everywhere.
Heard you had a great day. Well done on a finish
It's a lovely finish Annette - I'd be the last person to wonder why not more of them!
Hey - any finish is bloody impressive ...and it's lovely. I have been avoiding a binding fixit job for a few months now....
Your mini quilt is lovely, Annette.
I love your mini.... they take up time since they are fiddly...
By the way I did some metallic stitching this weekend and used my thread heaven... what an enormous difference... I love it... now I can be happy doing metallic... thank you... thank you... (and Hubz says thank you too as he is not having things thrown!!)

A finish is a finish no matter the size! A great day was had by all.
