Holiday Stitching

 I brought my Brandon Mably fish fabric quilt with me to Madeira so I could finish sewing down the binding while here.

I got Alan to take a picture of me standing by it below our balcony in the garden.

A fellow sewer saw me and offered to hold up one end. She made lots of clothes from interesting fabrics from different parts of the world including the blouse she was wearing and her husband's shirts. She also used her stitching skills in her work as a plastic surgeon (reconstructive not cosmetic).

I've also finished just one of the Drunkard's Path blocks. A lot more to do.

And the Madeiran environs provide plenty of inspiration too. Check out these clamshells.
