New quilt
At Medium Quilt Club in January and February, the Project was to make a quilt using wool, rather than cotton, fabric.
I didn't actually go to either meeting, but I'd already got the fabric ready so I thought that I may as well get it done.
When I finished the top, I was distinctly unenthusiastic about it, although Mike was quite keen. I took it to Little Quilt Club last week, and got some good ideas about how to quilt it (and, indeed, quilted it: quite hard work as it's fairly heavy), and liked it better after that.
This afternoon, I caught up on GQT and sat on the sofa hand-sewing the binding (which was a mistake: I shouldn't have done it all in one day), and now it's finished:
I was saying, during lunch at the embroidered tree workshop last Sunday, that I'm actually a little resentful of Medium Quilt Club, and may stop going: although it's by no means required that you do the Projects, I feel somewhat obliged to do so, and that means I have much less time for doing the projects I've been planning myself. I'll have to think about it.
Anyway, I know what I'm going to do next, and I'm determined that I am going to do it next. I bought the fabric on the way to Novacon, but then Scandi Gnomes and this interfered.
