We have moved back in after our renovation and I subsequently have a sewing/study room! yeh - so no more dragging the machine out late at night and back away again before little hands get up in the morning!
This was the first time I had 'stiched in the ditch' on my machine. I used a cheap batting from spotlight with a really high loft - wouldn't recommend a high loft for first-time quilting on the machine! Its a little bit 'puffier' than I had imagined it would be.
I chose a relatively cheap star print from spotlight for the backing although I didn't wash it first and am now really worried that it will run.
So, its all done now. Thank you Chookyblue for organising this wonderful SAL. The work you put in is incredible. Its such a great way for people to come together and share inspiration, motivate and enjoy their hobbies together.
Happy Stitching

Susie it looks good. You can get a product called colour catch from the supermarket (usually woolies) and it works to stop colours running. Comes in a red box which has a few sheets in. I would probably use two sheets the first time you wash it if you get this product.
Susie it looks fantastic,well done,love your fabrics.xx
Gorgeous Suzie, love all those colours. xx
