Sewing on the Edge

It's been a particularly busy week because it's half term at the moment.  So day time blog reading and posting, email sending, internet surfing and fabric browsing have come almost to a grinding halt.  All quilting and sewing related activities have been undertaken late into the evening, and the midnight oil has been burning rather too frequently.

But the good news is I have finally finished my French General quilt top.


I thought I would add cute little squares at the corners to tie in with the floral print inside the stars, and I think it was a good move as it breaks up what otherwise might be a rather plain border.


Next I have to decide on the fabric for the back, as the one I was originally going to use is far too dark.  But that will have to wait until another day, as I have had lots of orders on my website for my personalised cherry cupcake bunting,



and personalised pirate bunting.



I'll be back tomorrow to show you a little something I made for my husband for Valentines Day.  I'm going to leave it out for him to find in the morning, I hope he likes it!  Have you made anything this year for the man/woman in your life?
