My mum has been visiting the last few weeks, and has done a wonderful job looking after my son and us, during track out (school vacation). This past week we had a blast in New York….that’s my Mum!!!

My Mum is a fabulous seamstress, who has made our kids clothes, my ball gowns and 1930’s outfits for the Hawkes Bay Art Deco weekends in New Zealand. This is the first time, my mum and I have talked about fabric and sewing. She had mentioned that a woman in her book club had this great teapot skirt. We raided my fabrics and next thing you know she has a finish….

I love the waistband on the skirt and how she has finished it off with the edging and the bias. It breaks up the print wonderfully.Her fabric choices are:

• Tea Delights in Honey, Splendor 1920s, by Bari J. Ackerman
• Film Strip in Mustard, 2wenty thr3e, Cosmo Cricket
• Mini Rain drops in Orange, Timeless Treasures

That’s my Mum first Friday finish, is it not a pretty finish. I am linking up with Amanda Jean over @ Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday.
