Quilting done...
I did more than I planned to, but now it's ready for handles and lining!
I will quilt the handle also, just to keep the consistency between all the elements - just straight lines, nothing fancy!
Oh, and I also added the buttons and stitched down the mouths. Not convinced the glue was going to be enough! I will use the strongest glue I can find for the googly eyes!
Progress pics so far....... The last one is how the boys will look once their eyes are attached....

Oh, it's bright!!
Yikes!!
I knew it was going to be bright, but WOW!! You can't miss it!! The photos certainly not do it justice.......
So, all the panels are sewn, appliqué is done..... quilting still to do, plus assembly, but overall, the hardest part is over.
I think the design would work better larger, as all the twists and turns are tricky using the blanket stitch, although raw edge would work, too.
So here it is, so far. Get your sunnies out to protect your eyes!!

Extra long weekend!!
Happy Australia Day!!
At the end of a 4 day weekend, what have I achieved?? Very little, to be honest!! Although I have started a new appliqué design from one of the quilting books that have been taunting me for weeks now!
These are called Jolly Golly's. Still need faces, but the basics are ready to build upon. They should be the border on a quilt, but I'm thinking of another bag, with these guys travelling around the sides, maybe some piecing in there for good measure? Playing with some felt mouths, and may use googly eyes, I don't think painting them will be a success. Still some tinkering to do before a final decision gets made.
I did finish all the hand sewing on my doll, made the belt shorter, added the straps to the shoes, hooks and eyes, press studs, etc. More items for the Canning Show - done!! She will get a new hat, if I get around to it before then....
