Tuesday - Parcel Day

A small and innocent package arrived in the mail yesterday.  It appears however that the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service was a little suspect of its content.

Lucky for me no items of quarantine concern were detected, and nothing had been removed from the parcel.

I hope the customs inspectors liked the labels as much as I do!  Handmade by Anna from Lilla Lotta, purchased from this Etsy Store, here.  I have previously purchased custom labels from this store, and have been very happy with how professional they make the finished quilt look.  This time I chose the slightly wider cotton tape, and I think they will look good on larger quilts.

Quilting the Fresh Cut quilt top is also coming along nicely. I am thrilled with how well the new Bernina is taking to quilting, the feed dogs are robust and together with the walking foot pull the quilt layers  through  very comfortably.  It is rather satisfying to take this quilt off the "unfinished" list!
