I've made a decision about quilting the Queen Mary's Garden flimsy (I was belly-aching about it in the last post).
I just ordered a king-size Dream Cotton "Request" quilt batt.
I guess I'm going to see if my hands are up to hand-quilting it! Hand quilting has always been such good 'fabric therapy' for me.
Now I need to make a list of watch-ables and Audibles to entertain me through the basting process!
Any suggestions?
Coming up in the next post, I want to survey all of you for if I should and how I should make this QMG behemoth quilt pattern available. I have some ideas, options, etc. Some have made inquiries in the past. I have been so in and out about posting, and those who asked about the possibility may now be out in the ether somewhere else.
Anywho, I will post brain droppings in my next post and you can honestly weigh in...no judgin' on my part.
After that, I have some finished interim projects to share, retreat highlights, and I think I know what my next big, wacky project will be! There's a lot of doodlin' going on!
I promise, historical figures, no history lessons from the 1600's, and any running diatribe will be all fun and most likely myth, legend, salty intoxicated bar room boastings, and total fantasy.
YAHOO! I need some distraction from the outside world, and something ridiculous is always totally inappropriately appropriate!
Good for you! I have confidence you will quilt it and quilt it well. As to entertainment, the best audibles for me are the D.E. Stevenson ones. I am re-listening to The Young Clementina. Don't ask how many times I've already heard it. Hers are that good. And if you want a really long one, Coming Home by Rosamunde Pilcher is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHurray! I hope your hands hold out because it is so relaxing. This is such a remarkable feat. What a tremendous accomplishment. I hope to see it in person at a show one day!
ReplyDeleteI hope your hands will quilt until you are ready to take a break. As far as your distribution question. . .I suppose it would be too much to ask for a BOM; but, any choice you make will be great! I have laughed over The Irish Country Doctor series by Patrick Taylor. I listened to most of them through my library on the libby app.--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteEat that elephant one bite at the time! You can do it but do it leisurely, not all in a rush. Somebody told me once we're supposed to enjoy the process, not rush for a finish.
ReplyDeleteI’m sooooo very happpy to read your words and view your work! Miss you and love you lots!
ReplyDeleteGreat luck with the hand quilting. Am in line for pattern purchase. Look forward to see where your doodles take you.
