Lots of life stuff going on, some not so nice horrible stuff which I wont share, but some good stuff too - new teaching at another local sewing shop, making me a multi location teacher now, yay!
I have also been sewing, with the help of friends. Both in terms of support and kindness when I needed it (thank you, you know who you all are) but also in terms of emergency supplies!
Thanks to my lovely friend Karen, who send me a scrap of Summersville when I ran out on a border for my Marcelle Medallion quilt.
And to the wonderfully kind Sadie who sent me a spool of Aurifil when mine ran out 2/3rds of the way through quilting my Bee a Brit Stingy x & + bee quilt and I couldn't find the weight I needed.
I was very lucky to get some beautiful blocks from my bee mates and couldn't wait to whizz the quilt up!
I had the perfect vintage sheet in my stash to back it with

And I splashed out on some Heather Bailey Nicey Jane I have been eyeing up for months in my LQS, perfect binding fabric!
So huge thanks to my bee lovelies for giving me a gorgeous quilt to cuddle up in and thanks to you others for the virtual hugs that are much needed at the moment. Happiness in quilty form is helping get me through some tough times at the moment, I am enjoying it all in a corner of my studio.

Such lovely work Emily. They are both absolute stunners x
Love what you've been working on - does the multiple locations make you a franchise? Or just desirable ;o) Either way, good for you :o)
wow - the x+ quilt looks lovely all finished, and could that medallion be any more gorgeous? I think not! xxx
Your medallion is stunning - I really need to make one now. Hope things cheer up but great to hear you are a multi-location quilting teacher!!
