Hello neglected blog! I knew i hadn’t written a blog entry for a while, but didn’t realise it was almost 2 months!
I am so pleased that I finally finished Miss A’s quilt last week. I really enjoyed making my second quilt, and loved how it all came together. The colors worked well, and I had such great help from the ladies at GJ’s with selecting backing and binding material. The pattern appeared quite straight forward, though I found elements of it difficult, such as making sure all the rows lined up correctly. I am very fussy! My very talented mum helped me MANY times for assistance and advice. Thanks mum!
I gave the quilt to Miss A, and there were smiles all around. I hope Miss A likes and uses her quilt now and in the years to come.
I’ve been working on some other things too, more on that in the next few days. Promise it won’t be in 2 months’ time.
Thanks for stopping by. xo
Looks good. Did you stitch in the ditch?
Thanks! I did stitch in the ditch, after much deliberation. if you click on the second photo, you can (sort of) see where i sewed, which was down the sashings and then every second row. I looked into paying for someone else to quilt it for me, but it was too expensive. Mum and i talked about doing freestyle stipple quilting but i was not confident. We also considered doing a design in the sashing but i decided to keep it simple. I feel like I’ve improved my stitching in the ditch technique, but not yet mastered it
