I managed to get a couple more small finishes done last night – as well as taking a better photo of my finished needleroll today (so I’ll replace the photo in yesterday’s post). I’m finally trying to make up a close pal’s gift that is months overdue, so I did this as a trial run first – definitely not my finest finishing ever done, but it’ll do …
Then I sat and finished off my Pansy Magnet Pillow into a finished pillow. I just adore this piece – it’s a shame to see it go into storage now it’s finished, as I just want to sit and admire it … I just love looking and playing with all the beads in the fringe! 🙂
Lucky last, I used the sewing machine to stitch the binding on my oldest quilting UFO, and it’s all pinned ready to do the hand-stitching on the back of the binding – I’m coming up to almost 4 weeks of late shifts, so I thought it could be the perfect project for the office on the overnight shift. Mind you, one week will be spent training a new person on the Hotline, so I might not get quite as much done as expected hmmm. No piccies yet until the whole thing is finished anyway … I have no idea what I’ll do with it when it’s finished!
Rightio, back to packing up … so far I’ve cleaned out my car boot ready for loading everything into it again – done the laundry washing for the week, all apart from my bedding which I’ll probably do next week in Seaford, and most of my stitching is put away again. My sewing machine will be packed away tonight, in readiness to going back into storage again either tomorrow or Saturday before work. Only two more sleeps left before I head back to Seaford again for another week, then off to Edithvale for 3 weeks.

Your Pansy Magnet Pillow in stunning Anne, congratulations on such a wonderful finish.
Gorgeous finishes Anne! But, I don’t think I could bear to put away the pansy magnet pilllow! Stunning!
I live anything with pansies, so I covet your pillow! Hehe. Great job on finishing it, and your Christmas ornament also!
Wooow, I love that pansy piece!
Great finishes! Love the pansy piece…the beads are fabulous 🙂
Your beaded pansy is stunning! You have done some great finishing lately:)
I did the BOAF on holiday, but forgot to bring the color scheme with me (just brought a copy of the chart to avoid losing the magazine) and I must say that I think the real colors look a lot better than my made-up ones. LOL!!
Beautiful finishes! However did you do that beaded fringe? Can’t wait to see your quilt.
Lots of lovely finishes lately Anne – good for you! I’m going to have to come back later to read more of your posts and figure out what you’ve been up to lately – I think I’ve lost track of where you are living now! Take care!
What stunning finishes.
Oh wow! That pillow is gorgeous!
Pretty finishes and oh boy that beaded edging must have taken a while but with a great result :-))
Both projects are so beautiful! Especially that beaded cushion… love the fringe!
