This week I pulled out a quilt that belongs to one of my family that needs repairing and a lot more quilting added to give it strength to last a few more years. Back ground is cotton but I used a lot of silk in the appliqué blocks and some of the silks in the borders is giving way due to not enough quilting done to stop pressure been put on the different parts of the quilt.
Bottom end of quilt that I’m working on.
Repair work on this seam then I need to quilt over it.
Another area that needs to be repaired and then quilted
Opposite corner repaired and quilted. I did this corner in 2014. It is difficult to quilt as it has two layers of wadding in it, one is cotton and one wool . When I made it about 9 years ago it was for a very cold area in the winter in Japan so my DS wanted it to be very warm??????
I now have almost two arm warmers for DGD
Not a lot that is new in the garden this week. but we have had a few visitors some so so sweet and some not to sweet!!!!! The below is a little ring-tailed possum. When we first moved here they were in the trees in front of the house but we have not seen them for the last 12 years so it was so special to see him or her two nights ago.
Then also two nights ago around 1am when I was up I nearly stood on this fellow, not so sweet and not so nice to stand on, he was about 6 inches long and very angry, I picked up the dogs water dish and covered him with it and went back to bed. In the morning he looked liked this all curled up and dopy from the cold, took some photos then relocated him back in to the wild.
Not what you want in your bedroom in the middle of the night?????
Many thanks for taking the time to drop in.
I’m off to link with Esther now at her WOW or WIP’s on Wednesday. http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/
