It’s cold and very wet. We have not had such wintery weather for a long time.
We really needed the rain
It was a perfect day for working on a large quilt.
I finished quilting it and now I needed to take out all the pins before I could proceed
I usually do this sitting down. But the back was aching so I had to change to standing
It was actually a great way to get all the pins out. I usually leave many in because I just don’t see them
I definitely could see them here and I knew a section was done before I rolled up the top part of the quilt to reveal the rest of the blanket I needed too do
It turned out to be a rather large quilt indeed
It turned out to be a rather large quilt indeed
And it’s done.
I did both sides of the binding on the machine. I didn’t want to spend hours hand stitching.
All I really have to do now is cut off all the long bits of thread.
The rest of the day will be spent on the couch. With a cup of coffee, fire going while knitting.
I’m rewatching “call the midwife “. That will do to keep me amused
The quilt is lovely and obviously a lot of work. You deserve your rest
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have the touch when it comes to quilt making. From tea towels to material scraps - they always end up looking great.
ReplyDeleteI know I shouldn’t be whinging but it’s gone cold (and wet) here.
Well at least you have a lovely view.
DeleteI think that Arctic blast is affecting the weather all along the east side.
Great way to spend a cold, rainy day!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely, you must have spent ages on it. I think your day was well spent by the fire on such a cold and wet day. Our weather is certainly changing here and cold but not very wet but hopefully we will get some more soon.
