Hatched, Patched and Ready for Dispatch

After a year, this is finished. It's now hanging in the hot water cupboard drying so I can get it in the mail to Mount Gambier. (I got the girls' journals in the mail this morning.)

It's a Hatched and Patched design from the book, The World As it Should Be. I used an old wool blanket, an old green wool jacket and felt scraps for the central picture. The fabric is left over strips from the Wedding Quilt - Prairie Paisley.

The binding I love. It came from the local patchwork shop - The Crafty Needle in Manukau. I decided to use it on the bias to mimic the cross hatch quilting. I also love cross hatch quilting! And I finally got to attach one of my 'new' labels I got months ago. I feel it's been months since I actually got anything fininshed.

Now it's back to quilting the Little Patchwork Village Quilt. I thought I was much closer to the end than I really am. However, perfect quilting weather - rain. And perfect office moving weather. Got my new office 90% set up this afternoon.

I started this possibly last year ... I am going to get it finished and in the mail to Mount Gambier, South Australia before Christmas.

The rain started this afternoon and it's meant to hang around all week. Perfect for finishing up the year's school work and for sewing.
