Hi all, I have just spent a happy afternoon quilting but have had to stop now as it is too dark to see in my sitting room. (Here in England we have just completed the annual ritual of "putting the clocks back" which means it gets dark an hour earlier :-( )
I wasn't happy to begin with, as my quilting wasn't going well. I am hopeless at sewing (so taking up quilting as a hobby is a little wild, lol) and the tension on my machine was playing up, and my stitch in the ditch wasn't quite in the ditch! But suddenly, midway through, the piece of patchwork started to look like a proper quilt. It's seems like there is a magic moment when your piece of work suddenly "plumps up" and starts to look like it is going to turn out OK! hurrah! Now I just have to figure out what to do with the borders and the binding.....
