Well that week flew by!

Has a whole week really passed?
Where did it go?
I haven't done much this week and most of it has been secret stuff, so I have very little to show.
I did however set to and make a lovely poppy wall hanger. We are preparing an Armistice day wall at work for the older residents. Thought this would make a nice addition and donated it yesterday.
Two people have already asked me for the pattern details. LOL
I've made this design before using batiks, but sadly don't have enough red to do the border. So I took a trip to the local store and bought all of the fabrics you see here. I like the way the red appears to be dip dyed and becomes paler toward the top of the quilt.

This weekend I plan to continue working on secret stuff.

Secret here, secret there. I bet it is hard to not be able to show what you are working on.
