Wow! Mud...mud... and more mud
I think we will not be offending anyone when we say.. enough rain!!!!
Our horses are wet and muddy. They have sore feet and are fed up...
Sunshine please come out again.... 🌞🌻
This is Monty and Zeus is in the background. They are my beautiful muddy boys.
Recently I have been attempting to finish off a couple of projects.
This quilting journey never disappoints.. there are always learning moments for me.
Firstly a wrong calculation or shrinking fabric or uneven cutting or all of the above, led to me being 1 inch short in width on one border strip. This led to me not having enough fabric to cut my template. A trip to the store for more fabric, however there was a new bolt of the fabric and the colour base was different. Too different to put together..
So Lesson 1- measure before you buy and buy a little extra, measure again before and after washing fabric and before cutting.
I now have enough of a new fabric and am ready to go again.
REgain, REgather and REstore!!!!
Lesson 2 -
When gathering a frill of nearly 5 meters of White satin fabric, make sure you use a dark colour as a gathering stitch. I used white and it is a nightmare to see where the stitches are showing.
RElearn, REgather, REgain and REstore!!!
What I love the best is that I have wonderful friends who encourage me to keep going no matter the challenges. Who help me to laugh and who share the love of creating...
Jo , Chooky and Diane and others have inspired, taught and encouraged me. Thanks so much for your patience and your generous time and wisdom.
Will my next post be a finished quilt???? We will see.... until then.... Keep creating!!!!!
For those who don't know My other passion is horses. From a little girl, I loved being in a farming environment and loved being with ani...
