FF-UFO 2024

 First Finished UFO 2024! 

I had this Patriotic Table Runner already thread basted (last year). 
Last Sunday, I decided to sew all day and I did all the quilting! Straight seams take time and are a bit tedious, but to finish an item, it has to be done, right?! The binding was done the next day, and voila! Finished!


Available in my Etsy Shop 

....and don't you think this little bugger showed up?!
It was hidden on the chair, in between other projects.


It's a small wall hanging I started last year. It's almost done; the gnomes need a nose each. Why on earth does that takes months to fix that?! Another UFO to the list!

I've just finished a custom order 


 1 table runner and 2 round table mats, on its way to the US.

You may have seen on the news Reunion Island and Mauritius were hit by cyclone 'Belal' some days ago. This is from Port Louis Monday this week; torrential rain caused flooding
...and the clean-up started two days ago. 
Fortunate, no damage to our property, except water in the lower ground floor, but that happens every time we get heavy rain. 'Belal' passed about 90 km / 56 miles to the south of the island, highest gusts 124 km/h (77 miles/h) measured here in Quatre Bornes
Cyclone season is officially from Nov 1 to May 15. Fingers crossed there won't be any hits to any of the countries in the Indian Ocean!
