DUDQS {finished}

I managed to get my doll quilt finished over the weekend - I will be pleased to get it posted away tomorrow and tick it off my 'things to do' list. I'm off to London then Copenhagen on Friday (taking my thesis 'on tour' in a manner of speaking) so the list is quite long!


I had fun creating some little Liberty blocks then setting them into Essex linen. Then it was the trusty old straight line quilting treatment which does create lovely texture. 


I couldn't resist packing up the parcel with some yummy jaffas - a little kiwi treat for my swap buddy :-)


My next task is to get some more TP hexies basted so I can take some hand-stitching with me on my travels. Carolyn from Monday Modern showed me her 'plane safe' scissors and now I have some of my very own - so cute!!

    Thesis touring sounds more exciting that high school teaching! Have a great time.

    Who stocks Essex Linen in Auckland? Or do I have to buy it online?

    Oh I'm excited about your travels. I was wondering about your thesis the other day and hoping it had gone well. The quilt looks great too! Don't forget to pack a headlamp to help with your stitching on the plane. Heh! :-)
