Quilting drought

What can I say....its been a busy 2 months. Not that I haven't been sewing at all, just been stealing whatever "free time" (code for sleep time) I have to clean up some older projects. (will post some pics once I get them freed from the network folder which I can't seem to access on this mac, ARGH!)

Over the past 2 weekends though, finally cut into my Hope Valley stash to product this quilt top. Quite proud of this one as actually took time to go through the tedious process of cutting out everything first, lay it out, pin, edit, then piece together. For those who know me well, I am prone to skipping all of the above (the ADHD kid in me) and start sewing straight away.

I think it did pay off in the end and am pleased with the result. As you can see, the points do meet! Some credit goes to the trusty 1/4 Bernina foot. Yay! Also spent ages trying to get a random look to the triangles. Dunno whose gonna get this one yet.

Hi grace, hope this gets to you on time. There aren't many shops around but you can try tanglin mall, 3rd floor. It's a small shop (can' remember the name) but relatively well stocked. Also another place called quilt and friends . You can google for the address. They are more out of the way but a lot bigger and the owner Bridget is pretty friendly. Anyway have a good trip and let me know how it goes. Cheers val
