What I did in my holidays...

I cunningly managed to convince my cousin to abandon her children and spend a crafty weekend away with me! We went to Sandspit so that we could craft by the sea. I love estuaries even when the tide is low - the changing scene is endlessly fascinating.


It's a great idea to go to a holiday park in the off season if you love being by the water. The cabin above is where we stayed - at full tide the water is pretty close and the park was virtually empty.


It wasn't all gin drinking and admiring the view, I did actually manage to get some sewing done (go me!) I put this top together which is supposed to be a finished quilt for quilt group tomorrow evening. I'm hoping the basting/quilting fairies might visit overnight.


I also finally got around to binding the Liberty quilt that is now a late birthday present for Mum. 


A most excellent weekend all in all :-)

    That top and finished quilt are gorgeous! And a weekend away crafting in a cabin sounds divine.

    The pluses on the low volume fabrics are great! And I love the coloured borders on the Liberty quilt too!
