Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker

I have received this book last Friday and it is taking me all my discipline not to keep reading and reading.  It has been raining on the Sunshine Coast since late Sunday, ideal reading weather.  However, I do have lots to do as I have been elected as President of Caloundra Quilters and have a couple of quilting projects I need to finish for our Quilt Show in July.

Free Motion

I have bitten the bullet and am quilting my 49 blocks of International Sunbonnet Sue.  I have been told to practise, practise and keep practising free motion and will get better.  However I have done this and have decided to just do it - although not all stitches are perfect, it is my quilt and I can live with a little imperfection as I will not be entering the quilt (when finished) at any judged show.  I am sure by the time the 49 blocks are finished I will have improved!!!!
