Its a finish!

This week has been long and rather despondent at work, so this evening I decided that rather than let it all build up and kill someone, I would sew instead

 And.... this is an FAL finish!!!  Hurray, at long last, I can cross something else off the list
I did some straight line quilting

 ..I was unsure how the quilting would look and was going to do my usual hand stitching in the ditch around the star, but decided to be brave!


I think I am going to send this to my oldest friend who often comments on my pics on twitter and likes my sewing, and she said she loved this one, so it's time she had something. (lets hope she's not just being polite!!) Linking up with the flickr FAL group

    AH thank goodness for the hobby of sewing - that which prevents us becoming a burden on society in £1000/wk prison accommodation! Cushion looks great. Hope your week gets better, my lovely!
