Time to celebrate...the procrastinator has been thwarted!!! Look....
I know! I couldn't believe it either. I decided to put some more vinyl on the record player and settle down to a sewing session and I finally finished it! I thought that since you ladies helped me think through HOW to do it at the WOYWW crop I would share it on a Wednesday (not actually my workdesk but I hope Julie doesn't mind).
The red sticking out the sides is actually my fluffy rug I placed this on top to take the photo!! I think I made this in time as the weather in the UK took a turned colder at the weekend (not unexpected in the latter part of November) so I should be snug as a bug with this new topper on the bed.
My "Man Bites Dog" cards this week left me wondering whether I should actually show them considering the awful news from Paris and Lebanon recently, but they really were the first four cards drawn randomly so I decided to:
A series of horrifying acts of violence....senseless.

The quilt looks fantastic - well done!! hope it's keeping you toasty warm. How spooky those cards should be the first out of the pile! Helen #?
ReplyDeleteThat will keep you warm for sure and how freaky are those cards you pulled this week hugs Nikki 6
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt - what gorgeous fabrics :) Have a fab week . Soojay xx14
ReplyDeleteOh it looks gorgeous! I think you thwarted the procrastination better than I did..it took me tooooo long to get the workshop ready, what a waste of an afternoon! I will try to find a pic of my button bag so you can see the way the same fabrics turn out when crocheted; beleive me that quilt will make you smug every time you get into bed, it's so fab!
ReplyDeleteYay, well done you!! That awesome feeling you get when you finish a big project like that makes you question why you put it off in the first place!! Or is that just me?! lol. The quilt looks fab, such great colours. But it;s the quilting that I hate so much...I enjoy doing the patchwork bit very much but the quilting...sigh....
ReplyDeleteThe cards are weirdly accurate....unfortunately. Let's hope for some more positive ones soon.
