Experiments with Sashing

Been experimenting with some embroidery to use as sashing with my 'hearts' - I have a lovely set of designs called That's Amore and not to be content with them chopped and hacked at them to make a border strip. What do you think of it? quilt

With groups of hearts then the embroidered sashing then an embroidered block then more hearts.

Been able to get back into sewing a little over the past few days, I am making a quilt for each of my sisters (2) for Christmas and have one top finished and need to get stuck into the other. I also want to put my healing hearts together and complete a couple of UFOs (very funny).

I have some lovely designs for quilts with embroidered blocks that I would like to try and a teddy bear made from calico with lots of embroidery on him. As usual I have more than enough projects on the go at one time. At the end of August is the Stitches and Craft show in Sydney (Rosehill) and my son has promised to babysit his Dad so I can go.

Of course, you know what that means - more projects!! Yea!!
