Evening plans: getting Nelly to supervise me working towards getting this handpieced Hexenbeast finished, since it's been stashed in a bag for, um, about 5 years... I lost my design when my old PC died & only had a printed version which I then spilled a drink on & it didn't survive, so I had to replan it all in EQ8. Luckily I'd done enough already to know roughly where I was going with it!

I finished my first ever #patchworkquilt 🎉 Loved making it and learned lots from my mistakes. Already planning #quilt number 2 for my Mum's birthday (in exactly 1 month!)

@abrasrose yes. I made one in 2019 and have part made one for last year. And will be making one this year (not started it yet as waiting for a couple of fabrics to arrive).
Most temperature quilts use 2 fabrics for each day, noting the high and low temperatures each day

Least favourite bit of quiltmaking - finding somewhere big enough & flat enough to pin the backing, wadding & quilt top together evenly so I can quilt it. It always ends up being our bed, & I always pin at least one part to our duvet cover & don't realise till the end 😫 Not to mention having to dodge the huge tree in our bedroom (everyone has a tree in their bedroom right?!). Cats are shut out because cats=chaos.

I have curved safety pins. I'm going in.

My "design wall" is basically pinning stuff to the curtains 😀 #patchwork #quilting #PatchworkQuilt
