Finally a finish!!! This was a ridiculous experiment foundation pieced onto A4 paper (some crazy recycling idea in the days when I was sleep-deprived with Hannah as a newborn and I saw Alex Anderson's take on "Depression Era Newspaper Quilts") You would not believe how often these blocks have been shuffled from place to place and how many times they ALMOST ended up in the bin. What a relief to finally have them finished. This quilt actually gave me the chance to really play with my new machine and I have to say that I have totally fallen in love! No more cussing while quilting! No more losing the needle thread, or having stitches unravel, or even searching for the scissors. I LOVE IT!!!
I love the 3 million fancy pants stitches (especially the one that looks like hand quilting) and I love the inbuilt walking foot. It has totally re-jigged my sewing mojo (which is why you see that I've started my Lil and Will quilt!)
Maybe that will be my December finish?
Have a great week!
