Success is finishing the double bed sized quilt that has lain unfinished for a year. It seemed too hard to put together due to its size but I finally realised that leaving it as a pile in a carrier bag was no better than having a bag of rags so it was better to have a go and risk making it. It actually worked out alright. Physically it was heavy work moving it around as I stitched it but I managed. I also did free machine quilting for the first time. I know the experts would advise practising on scraps first but I wanted to do it today so I did. Yes, it has a rough and strange quilting design, but I like it. There are spirals, daisies and totally wild doodles. And best of all----- I LIKE IT!!!!
Until next time
Gillian
