I had another go at the Vintage sock and so far so good. This yarn makes it quite tricky to see the lace pattern, but it is there - must remember to use a single colour yarn next time.

Quilting my Suduko Quilt. I have stitched in the ditch all of the block construction seams and am now doing a bit of free motion quilting.

I’ve been working on another applique - a dinosaur. I starched the fabric again and this time used a tear away stabiliser on the back.
The dinosaur is from here and the frame from here.

Another Princess Applique. The crown is from Designs By JuJu and the frame from Bunnycup Designs.
This time I starched the fabric before stitching the applique - makes things much easier.

I’ve pin basted the Suduko quilt.

Here is the back - the print fabric was also one from Japan.
