Progress

Firstly, thank you all for sharing your lovely thoughts on my previous post.....
Here's to the Art of Needle and Thread!
The troublesome Yoko block is looking better...3rd time lucky lol! Thank goodness!
And the bias for the stem applique up the side is all set to go.

The other block I have chosen for this month is almost done....I just have to work out how I am going to do the geometric shapes on the dark green.
I have made a few shortcuts. So this quilt will definitely be a 'version' hopefully celebrating the beautiful applique which first attracted me to this quilt.

It was a long weekend here last weekend in Australia to celebrate Australia Day. It definitely was a "sunburnt country" here abouts.  I got cracking sewing binding on Brinton Hall.
And then stitched it down under the aircon to beat the heat.
I used my last vintage doiley from my friend Gayes collection for my label.
Brinton Hall is now complete! And I love it!
Very happy stitcher  here.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    I love your idea of uding the vintage doiley for the label. Me thinketh I may copy you with my Little Lucy quilt. Beautiful Yoko blocks and there is nothing wrong with changing things to suit ourselves especially when it makes things easier. Keep cool and keep stitching.
