What I wrote at the beginning of my last post still holds true. I have been working away on projects but nothing to show. But that is going to change as this post has a finished quilt and future posts will show two finished yarn projects.
I am (very) slowly working through this book by Jenni Dobson. The patterns are labeled from beginner to advanced. The first
one I made from left over fabric from my mother-in-law, but I liked the colour of
the next quilt so much I had to purchase similar colours. In 2009! I don’t know
when I cut the pieces for the quilt but it was sometime after 2013 and sometime
after that for sewing them altogether. But I do know when I sandwiched the
quilt as there is a record on this blog.
In the meantime I started the next quilt and now it is waiting for quilting. Although I said at the beginning of the year that would be the one to be finished next, I still have to find the right backing fabric for it. But don’t worry, I have purchased the fabric for the next quilt.
Finally my desire to have the quilt overrode the “I’m not good enough” thoughts in my head. And I’m so happy with it. I don’t mind that the pieces aren’t perfectly square; the quilting stitches are not even; the fabric on the back is not completely smooth. Nobody will be looking at it that closely.
