Sewing!

Over the last week I have finished sewing and quilting my Xmas tree skirt and also all the quilting for Grace's suffolk puff quilt.  Just need to get the binding organised which might require a few purples to be bought so I can make some random purple binding.





There has also been some prep and spinning with that gorgeous lamb's fleece I bought.  Because it is a short staple I am using hand carders to open up the fibers into a huge plastic tub and then I am processing them much quicker through the drum carder which is on loan from my mum.  I have also spun some up and will either ply 2 or 3 strands together.  Not sure yet.


Well a bit more processing while I do some baking and the washing and then perhaps spend the better part of the day spinning LOL.

All gorgeous. It is about the best tree skirt I've seen and the quilt must look stunning on a bed. The greys in the wool are so gentle and subtle - I think you are brilliant!

Congratulations on finishing the tree skirt. And Grace's quilt is almost there too! They both look great. :)
