Well, here he is - all ready for his weekend.  Backpack on his back, a water pack on his front and around his waist webbing pouches full of essentials - food, torch, camp stove and fuel etc.  Good for him - just glad it is not me!!  I have to say that he was really looking forward to it  though!
I managed to get the last bag made for Ireland last night.  Now I am going to concentrate on making some Christmas themed things.

 First up some pot holders.  I was thinking of making these into a table runner but I figure 8 potholders will raise more money.  So far I managed to get some of the pinwheels made.


I am still working on Bruce's quilt but it is heavy going.  I have quilt all around the blocks and the border.  Now I am working on quilting in the ditch on the blocks.  I reckon I have done about a third.  I will try and get another third done today and the final third done tomorrow.  I have the binding ready to go and about a mile of threads to sew in.  The binding and the threads will be a good watching movies job! 

Now I better go and get some Rainbow Scrap Challenge sewing done!

Till next time........happy stitching!

  5. My youngest son was in cadets for a couple years and really enjoyed it. Bruce's quilt looks great! I also find it very challenging to wrangle large quilts while quilting. I am hoping to get a quilting frame someday!!
