Hi Cuties, I've got my quilt back from the quilters yeah!
I went to Spotlight (our local fabric shop etc.) to buy some wide navy bias binding. There were 4 packs there with 3 metres per pack, I stood there looking at it and thought I'd need 3, but just in case I bought 4.
When I came home I've pinned the 3 packs on it and would you believe I'm short by about 40cm! So I'm glad I bought that extra 4th packet. Sometime over the weekend I'll hopefully finish it off.
We are finally getting together with all the family tomorrow for our 50th wedding anniversary celebrations and it's promising to be a gorgeous day, after all the rain we've had over the past 2 weeks. We are fine, it basically missed Newcastle and where we live in Jewells, no damage at all.
I'm having my nails done today and no doubt I'll have black and silver nail polish put on them, I do love black and silver together. I then have Italian with 7 of my friends from 1-4 and then later this afternoon I'm collecting a Pew from the Redhead Church, as everything is being sold that isn't nailed down.
Tomorrow I'll go to Mum's to make sure her hair looks good for our luncheon and then it's the luncheon at 12.00 at Brown Sugar down at Warners Bay. It's a lovely restaurant on the Esplanade that looks out over the lake.
Sunday will be church (for me and Mum and I'm doing the readings for the day) at my church which is only 6 houses away from me and then a coffee at our local coffee shop. A full weekend ahead. Hoping everyone is well, love Chris
I'll certainly show you the quilt once finished. Love Chris
Sounds like a busy weekend for you and your family.
Looking forward to seeing your quilt. Sure was lucky you bought that extra bias binding. As my Mother used to say "better to have it and not want it than to want it and not have it."
Good to hear you missed all that bad weather. So sorry for all the ones that have lost homes and their lively hood.
Happy anniversary celebration!
Enjoy your day! HUGS
