Its been a long time since I posted a finish. I started an I-Spy quilt for a friend of mine about 6 months ago who was expecting a baby. It sat in its unfinished state with the top and backing just waiting to be basted. I hate basting. In fact, I despise it. That is probably why I never finish a quilt! That baby is about 3 months old now! I also have another friend, Amelia, expecting a baby, and her baby shower is this weekend, so I got my act together and finished this one off in just a couple of days for her. I will have to make another one for my other friend. She will never know!!

I have also finished a few more Tula Pink blocks. We only have about 20 blocks to go. I will be sad to see this QAL finish as the blocks just whip up so quickly and I love the look they are creating.
And a finish of a different kind. One of my other passions is cake decorating but I am mainly self taught. You Tube and the internet are wonderful teachers! For my birthday back in August my hubby bought me a Wilton cake decorating course at Milly's in Parnell. It was a 2 day weekend course, so we stayed in Auckland for the Saturday night. It was such a fun weekend and we learnt the basics of piping and working with buttercream. My finished creation....
Love the Eye Spy quilt - super back to it too. Oh your cakes look just beautiful - would hate to cut into them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake! OK, you need to find a solution to the basting problem, because your quilt is really lovely and it would be nice to see more finishes. Maybe a different method would help? Or you could get it thread basted by a longarm quilter? Or I'm not opposed to child labour if you've got some minions handy...
