WOW WOW WOW This morning I read you were cleaning your room, didn't have time to respond and now you have a quilt half done. Look at you go.

Mary, I've had a real 'me' day! Kids at school, DH away on business so just had a sandwich for lunch and have done NOTHING but sew! Bliss!

OMG K....that is abit obsessive...NOW I would have boiled the kettle and poured it into the sink and left it in that, then with a hot iron dry it quick like...I am tooo impatient to wait 2 hours for the blinking machine to do it lol :lol: I wanna know NOW!!!! :roll: Patience is not one of my virtues.... :wink:

Yeah, I thought about doing that Izy, but I wanted to recreate the full washin' process!!! (Actually I'm lying, I just didn't think! Flew into a panic and chucked the little bleeder in the machine!!!)

Now I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs, kids in bed, wondering if I dare risk making another block in case it shrinks!

Stop the machine...whack in the sink and get the electric mixer in there......go up to no. 4 on the electric whisk for full impact of spin..... :lol: :roll:

It's finished! Now just waiting for the bloomin' door lock to disengage, can't see the muslin AT ALL hope it hasn't disappeared!

Oh I am pleased...phew....sorry if I caused you grief....will make sure I BOIL wash mine before I do any sewing.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

No probs, Izy, actually, I don't think I did prewash it...I seem to remember when it arrived, I was so disgusted it wasn't what I'd expected, I just chucked it in the cupboard... the quilting gods are smiling on me today!
