Anyway all done and although I wanted to get a photo of him with it finished it seems now is the time for his business to take off and I can never catch him when the light is good. So here it is draped on my sofa - not the best picture.

This is the first quilt done on my new machine and I found it much better having the extra space under the arm. Had a few issues with thread snapping at first but after some new needles and much adjusting of tension it is fine.

It is backed with polar fleece and the piece I bought was just slightly too small so had to trim the second black print border to fit. Actually one side out of the 4 is an inch smaller but no-one has noticed so I will keep quiet about it. Jason is very pleased with it and will now stop muttering that everyone has a quilt except him - lol !
I've also been doing some knitting. I was a knitter long before I ever quilted - my Mum and Nana were great knitters and my sister and I were taught at a very early age. Maureen was 4 and I was 6. I bought a knitting magazine a couple of weeks ago as it caught my eye and have made a few things.

These are pressies - I love the pink hat - I have bought more wool to make myself one only in blue.
And I haven't actually bought much fabric lately but fancied these last week - must be a seasonal thing. Although there is no chance of anything being done with them soon. Hopefully I will have another finish in a few days - I am working on another quilt.

And we are drawing the winning number for the raffle tonight. I have bought a book of raffle tickets as I thought it was fairer than having some-one pick a random number. If you have requested tickets and have not paid there are about 3 or so hours left. If anyone happens to pay after we have chosen I will refund your money. If you are in the draw look out for an email if you are the winner. Good luck xxxx

The quilt looks great and well done on finishing it. I can't believe how many you get done. I haven't finished one yet. I love the cable edge on the red hat too and am on the edge of my seat for the draw. I hope you raised enough for the trip. Fingers crossed. Teresa x
Lucky Jason! Every time he wraps up he'll feel loved. Love the knitting as well, I keep hoping to get back into it. You are such an inspiration with all your finishes--I need to just get moving on something again.
your quilt looks brilliant and so does the red hat - its gorgeous!

Love your mittens and caps. Did you use a pattern for the mittens? I've been wanting to try to make some.
That's a great quilt! I love the bright scrappy look.
The quilt looks gorgeous as all your quilts do. I hope Jason is getting warmer.

Wow Andrea - Jason's quilt is fantastic. Love the way you've used the flying geese in your design. Cute hats too.
