Snow hits North East again - Quilting called for

Friday morning saw the start of the snow again in Aberdeen and by early evening it was really deep and pretty difficult driving.  This picture was taken first thing in the morning.   I decided to spend the weekend in Aberdeen which meant shifting all sorts of arrangements around for next weekend but never mind - it gave me a bit of time for quilting and I will catch up with family and friends next weekend.

I finished the quilt top with stars.  Not for beginners really though anyone who can cut accurately and sew a consistent seam would enjoy it.   However, though it went together really easily there was a lot of sewing!  Don't look too closely at the seam matches..... I am pretty pleased with it overall though and my next task is to get it layered up and quilted. 

I decided to join the block of the month club at Seattle Quilts in Aberdeen which necessitated a walk to the shop on Saturday morning in the snow.   Have a look on their website to see their interesting classes and project.   It was as a lovely cold morning with lots of snow around and a very warm welcome in the quilt shop.  It is a real treat having a quilt shop so near.  I also picked up some border fabric for a simple  little lap quilt which has been sitting around waiting to be finished for ages so maybe that will be another finished object very soom.   It started life as a pack of shot cotton from Rowan fabric. The colours are lovely I think and I am looking forward to finishing it.

That's all from me for this weekend.  Let me know if you have any news you want me to pass on. 

Happy stitching
