Happy Easter


Happy Easter wherever you are. I am enjoying being at home, despite a nasty cold which seems to be outstaying its' welcome!

As you can see, I turned my Easter stitchery into a little quilt.
 

Finished the hand quilting this morning ... DMC thread.


I chose fabrics from my 1930's stash ... most were bought about 10 years ago so it was good to finally use them.


The outer border fabric has been tea-dyed at some stage which gives a primitive, slightly grungy feel.


No school this week ... will be back soon with some other recent projects.
March was rather dismal as far as finishes for OPAM ... pleased to say April is already looking better.
