Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Spring!
The clocks have gone forward, the days are lengthening … and
the weeds in the garden are starting to flourish! So now my time has to be
divided between the delicacy and joy of sewing and solid hard graft of outdoor
work. When the weather is fine and sunny that is no problem as I like to be
outdoors but this seasonal split in commitments means that my time has suddenly
become more precious. I hope I can resist the lure of Spider Solitaire!
After the ‘reverse sewing’ on the Delectable Mountain wall
hanging last week, I have sewn it together correctly this time and it has been
steam ironed, on the back first to settle the seams and then on the front to
get rid of any tucks in the seams. I need to hang it up now so I can see it
whenever I am in the room and I can make a decision about what I am going to do
with it next.
The ‘Sharer of the Grandchildren’ is the agent for the Linus
quilts in the N Wales area so I have promised another 6 quilts for the cause (I
have already made 6 for the Chester region) which will be done over an
undefined period of time. I purchased a panel with coloured circles printed on
a black background for the first quilt top. I cut them up into individual
squares and chose some suitable fabrics to border them. Then I used simple construction
methods to produce a striking top. One down, 5 to go!
