TTS Finally Finished....

Finally done the quilting on my TTS Quilt. So now very happy with my quilt, 3 stitchery wall hanging & 2 pillows done from the book so far.

I machine quilted as my first try at hand quilting looked awful. I'll try again when more time. The machine quilting has a few lumps & bumps too but a good pressing helped with that.

So last night I stayed up until I finished sewing on the binding, label & hanging sleeve.


Can I join the next SAL now Chooky? I brought background fabric for it from every quilting shop I visited in Launceston & Hobart while on holidays - good fun!

Happy stitching
Tracee xx

Congratulations Tracee...well done, it looks fanstastic, love all the red/white fabrics you've used. Great way to have a reminder of your Tassie trip in your SKofW quilt, I have a bag I call my Cootamundra bag because that is where the fabric came from and it is lovely to have a reminder of the visit.
