The Christmas quilt deadline has passed for quilting here at the lake. No exceptions. I'm getting phone calls and text messages about having quilts done for the holidays when I wasn't told when they came in there was no deadline for them. Pressure and artists don't really mix and I'm feeling the pressure.
Here's what's on DW this morning...
 |
| Aileen's "consult" quilt |
108" square and all hand pieced; but not very well. Here are a few pics of what's going on in this large project...
 |
| Selvedges used within the seam(s) and piecing |
 |
| Spots and stains (which aren't coming out) |
 |
| SOOOO many tucks and puckers |
And there are holes everywhere I'm having to be mindful of. I chipped away through most of yesterday afternoon. Here's where I left off last night...
 |
| I love the texture |
But look at all the ruffling I get to deal with today. I can't starch this either...my colorfast test let me know there would be plenty of bleed. 'Oh quilt Gods, please be with me today for peace, serenity, and wisdom.' Amen.
I worked on the Bernie Gnomes for about two hours and it's coming along...albeit slowly. Today will be much of the same as yesterday minus the trip to Pieces. Happy December.
