Update ... quilting, knitting etc!

Went to my first Cob Quilters meeting in Morfa Bychan. today with friends.
Spent the morning making a glasses case, towards one of the  prizes area 13 of the Quilter's Guild is making for the Birmingham Quilt Show raffle in the summer.
In the afternoon I ran up another pincushion and continued hand quilting my broken dishes cushion cover.
pics added later..

Continuing knitting my chakra wrap, cross-stitching my welsh lady picture, and making things for my Ostara swap partner.

Reading - found a  new author I like  - Neil White.
So far read Fallen Idols and Lost Souls, the first two books in his series featuring DC Laura McGanity and her reporter partner Jack Garrett.
Great crime books with interesting twists.
