She's doing her honours thesis - due October 23. She is apparently sleeping in the students office at Uni. Apparently it is cold. She has a perfectly good bed in a perfectly good room, but apparently being close to Uni - cos it's panic stations with the thesis - is what counts*.
So she WANTS her quilt - the one that has been in progress for a while - well if the truth be told, I've been ignoring it and hoping it would go away. I knew the quilting part of it would be the HARD. It's recycled denim squares and my sewing machine complained the whole time I was sewing it together. I've been dreading the next step.
But -today I had to do the unthinkable and get it out.
Taped the backing and batting to the floor, lay out the quilt top and got going with the pinning.
So I will be hand quilting this. In perle cotton. In big stitches. In the ditch...and around some of the special blocks...I can't bear to think about the binding...
Drop by {tinniegirl} to catch up with some other Blogtoberfest2010 bloggers.
And there is a great giveaway page here at CurlyPops.
Don't forget my FALL INTO FALL GIVEAWAY on this post here - OPEN TILL FRIDAY 15 OCTOBER
*Personally I think it's the party atmosphere not the urgency of the work - but maybe I'm just jealous that that is all past me??
thanks for taking a peek over the fence...
