I feel like I’m in a beautiful bubble and I’m scared it is about to burst!!!!! This year has been a wonderful one for me quilting wise, Iv’e achieved so much more than I dreamed I would regarding finishing quilt tops. But I know in two days time it will be Dec and I’m NOT ready for it or Christmas!!!!!! What I want to do I don’t have enough days left so I’m going to have to write a list and write down 1 to 10 and each day make sure I do one of them????? How many of you out there are in the same boat?????
last week I was working on my 3rd and 4th memory blocks of my mums, using many of her treasures some of her grandmothers treasures and many I’ve collected.
Number 3 block as it was two weeks ago?
After adding some pink silk, some 1/4inch crosshatch machine quilting to the silk area and then some real pearls for a necklace that mum wore when she was younger? I still need to add some tiny ribbon bows around the outer edges. This is bobbin lace which was around the edge of Carols grandmother hankie. A very very special pice of lace. So
Block 4.
Where I stRted with Block 4. This is h easy silk and it was a tiny pillow, badly marked with mildew, I unpick ed the pillow then soaked the fabric for a few days in a soft solution of exit moulde and water. All the Mideast spots disappeared.
Tried fine lace firs5 and did not like it.
Then started to play with bits and pieces much better.
Now close to completing the lay out?
Block number 5. Started it last night.
Start of block number 5 This lovely piece has the most beautiful embroidered flowers in satin stitch from I think may 1950’s?
Slowly building the block of number 5!
This week we had 5 days of a heatwave, broke all temperature records, highest recorder was around 1970 and that was 37.5c this week we hit 43C!!! Yes it was hot, I felt so sorry for the sick and elderly.
