In it to Win it!







I finally got round to taking some photos this week of my finished Medallion quilt. I went down to the seafront in Penarth hoping for some sunshine after the beautiful weekend. The sun was notable by it's absence most of the time but we had time for a cup of coffee in the Pavilion Cafe while we waited for it to reappear.

I was thrilled to pieces when I collected my quilt and could not wait to finish the binding. The only thing it lacks now is a label but I have left a corner of the binding loose to put one in.












You've got to be in it to win it, right? Well I did! I joined in a few of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day posts and, amazingly, was a winner on Joanne's blog, Rose & Dahlia. She had made a fab Union Jack quilted pillow from a pattern in Love Patchwork and Quilting Magazine. It is paper pieced and quilted in a fantastic small floral, white and pink. Jo had packaged it so beautifully and it was a real treat  to open. Thank you Jo. I LOVE it!






I will be linking up tomorrow with Georgia Girl Quilts who is hosting TGIFF.

I am off up North to Manchester for the wedding of the son of very close friends this weekend. I can hardly wait but just about to try my outfit on…fingers crossed it fits…….
Have a great weekend yourselves,

Catherine

  3. Love that shot of your quilt with the coffee on it - the top of the coffee is a quilt block in itself. Have fun up north and give my love to Manchester, you're making me miss home but I hope to visit myself in about 6 weeks. Enjoy your weekend :D
