Slow and Steady Progress

I'm all out of sorts this week.  I think that's what happens when it's a Bank Holiday Weekend.  But I can't complain, it was such a glorious weekend of pure blue skies and sunshine.  And no I'm not joking!  We had  lovely time and went to the annual Boat Show, which was a fantastic event with so much to see and do. 
 

 
My daughter even got to sit in the pilot seat of a Royal Navy helicopter, climb aboard the airport fire engine and sit in a lifeboat.  Not to mention the bouncy castle :-)
 
The next day we had our first proper trip of the year to the beach.  By that I mean suncream, beach towels, buckets and spades, everything!  My son just LOVED it.  So much so that he even thought that eating sand would be a good idea!  



But all that sunshine and fresh air made me soooo sleepy!  So come the evenings, when I was meant to be working on bunting orders from my website it was all I could do to stay awake.

I'm pleased to report that good progress has been made on the orders now, and I have returned to my Anchors Away quilt, that I duly quilted last week.  Here it is  last week, quilted and waiting for the binding. 


 
The binding is well underway now too.  Just 2 sides of hand stitching on the back to go. 
 
I can't wait to get some decent shots of this quilt.  Just up the road is the most gorgeous little village called Rozel, and I think it would make the perfect setting for my nautical themed photo shoot.
 
 
 
 
So watch this space, I can't wait to share this finish with you.
