I didn't do any work today as we went out to a local May fair - one we've been to several times before, although I don't think it was as good this year as it used to be - a lot of the so-called craft stalls weren't really crafts at all, which I find kind of annoying - and the food is very overpriced. Still, it was fairly fun - being tired out with a cold doesn't help my mood, I know, but the kids had a good time, especially with the circus skills area which is always set up. More over on the family blog about our day. Anyway, one of the things I did find which I really liked was a booth from an African women's organisation of some sort - among other things, they had some lovely fabrics at the back of the booth and I found this gorgeous piece in blue and brown - four yards of it - it's a bit of a loose weave for quilting fabric, but I think it will make an excellent back for something, with possibly enough left for a cushion or two, as well.
And this is a (mostly) finished quilt - I sewed down the binding the other night, except for a few feet in one corner which I will finish shortly. Which will leave me with nothing left to sew by hand - I'll have to come up with a new project (it's ok, I have something in mind!) for in front of the telly.
And finally, the winner of the bag of scrappy bits from last week is no 4 - Doreen Kincade. Doreen, send me your address and I'll get them in the post to you. Congratulations!

Love the blue and brown fabric. That's one of my favorite color combinations.
Anything at all you want to send me would be terrific, Kate. I'm sending out a variety of things, whatever strikes my fancy at the time, so there aren't hard and fast rules about this swap.
