The Streets of Ireland Finished and A New Siggy

I finally got The Streets of Ireland finished, and boy was I happy! I completed it with my newly serviced Nelly, and I was so glad that she was purring like a kitten, because I had tons of machine quilting to do on the quilt. It does so remind me of a street in Dublin, and I really do love it!


I also got a lovely siggy in the mail from Willow, and she put hearts in the centre, and sewed it in her favorite colour purple. Thanks so much truly, and it will be wonderful including it in my quilt once I have enough siggies to make the quilt.



It is raining cats and dogs here in Dunfanaghy, and it is a real Autumn's day. Halloween is next Saturday, so there will be lots of festivities here and parties. Enjoy your Saturday!

Oh I love your quilt. Such a nice feeling when you finish a project. Hope your machine is happy. It is a real fall day here too but warmer then usual and very windy the leaves are falling off the trees by the tons. :)

So glad to see the Irish Quilt and It is adorable!! Very very nice work! That "siggy" is adorable, and how cute it'll be when all put together! It is very much like fall around here too, with a cool 56 degrees today. Took a short walk with my Nico and just had to swish through some leaves we came upon!!! Brings back childhood real quick! Have a wonderful weekend!
