Not a lot to report here - I did like the holly leaf motif for quilting of the Festive Mystery after I considered it further the other day, but - my - it's taking AGES to do!
I'm about three quarters done, then the binding (it goes against practicality, but I think I'll use the white which is the background fabric) and a label to do.
The visit that mum & I were scheduled to make to godmother Merris this weekend has been postponed, which is just as well from a taking-a-quilt-as-a-gift point of view; but the delay is because Merris is under the weather, so that's not so good. She should be up to visitors shortly, I hope, and the quilt will be ready and waiting for when she is.
It's looking good! The quilting is just so perfect for the quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lesley - I'm pleased with the holly leaves, but after posting this, I kicked myself that I didn't think to do ivy leaves too!
DeleteI'm sorry your godmother's not well, but it does give you a bit more time to finish the quilt. It is looking great too, she'll love it I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteShe's much better now, thank you, Sue - I think it will go down well with her.
DeleteIt's coming along nicely. It's going to be a treasure when you finish it.
ReplyDeleteLike all finishes, there's that 'Oooh!' moment when you stand back and feel a bit smug!
DeleteIt's coming along nicely and yes it does all take time.
ReplyDeleteFlipping felt like it took forever, Sue - I guess the denser, more stylised the quilting the longer it takes.
DeleteHopefully your grandmother will be better soon. Sure like that holly leaf quilting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth - I'm learning all the time! I often look back through your blog posts for quilting inspiration.
