The Mer-lion with a view of Marina Bay Sands…the platform at the top of the hotel (56 floors) is party central, with cool cocktail bars and an infinity edge pool, we went for a sticky beak, but I think we may have been the oldest people there!!
We wandered around Little India and came across this fantastic house, I think it used to belong to a rich business man…but check out those colours.
We had a great time in Singapore…food was fantastic…happy to go back just to enjoy all those fantastic restaurants.
I made myself a promise this year to try and get quilts finished! So I plugged away at getting this quilt quilted….
I used my favourite King Tut variegated thread, No. 914, it goes from fushia pink to orange to a candy pink…very pretty...
It's already left the house…by coincidence I had it finished for the baby's christening…the quilt was already 4 months overdue….so it worked out really well!!
My quilt group had a "Quilt-in-a-nightie" night….a twelve hour sewing marathon, from 12pm to 12 am, it was a hoot, at 6 pm we all got changed into our "nighties", had a glass of champers and dinner.
I had sewn all but seven of the blocks for this quilt last May, but hadn't progressed it since then, but with a twelve hour uninterrupted sewing stint, I got it done...All Amy Butler fabrics…. It is a big quilt 85"x85", I have already pieced the back and sent it to the quilters….yipee...
Last but not least, I watched a baby being born, my sister had a baby girl, and I had the privilege of being present at the birth….welcome to Stevie….
Phew….what a busy couple of months it has been…and now it is almost May….yikes :)
Hello little Stevie, little cutie pie! I love your big cherry star quilt. The quilting on it is really fun. I love the idea of a 12 hour marathon in your nighties. And the result is wonderful, love all the Amy Butler fabrics!
