Bike, brake, BQL and binding

An accident on my bike, led to me spending some time yesterday at our local minor injuries unit.  Nothing serious, just a cut on the eyebrow, but deep enough to elicit a “hhmmm” from my husband after it was cleaned.  Waiting to be glued ( superglue has many uses), I finished the binding on the first of a pair of A4 quilts for a BQL swap in July.

Feather motif from Anita Shackleford “ Infinite Feathers” , back stitch quilted using Jacquie Harvey method, using superior Rainbows thread, freehand extra hyperquilting in the motifs a la Patsy Thompson added after initial quilting, echo machine quilting with Bottomline thread.

  1. Ouch. Hope you are a quick healer, and I'm pleased to see that it hadn't stopped you quilting!

    Take care, love, Plum
