Back to quilting

 The mitts have had their first hot soapy wash. They haven't felted as much as expected, possibly it wasn't hot enough or long enough. 

And the quilt is on the frame..



I have rethought the finish of the centre quilting and have some new ideas on the side details.



Pirate is back home now after his lads week away at the commonwealth games...enjoyed himself but glad to be home.

This is going to be powerful! Is it modeled on biking? The colors of tire on road, through the green landscape came to mind…

It will be a beauty. Lovely stitching, and I'm not about the basting.

Good that you've got that quilt to occupy your creativity indoors!

Sounds as if you have filled your week quite productively.

Beautiful. I love hand quilting, but if I hand quilted everything I've started I'd have to live for another 50 years!

Yeah, back to quilting. It's always fun to see what you're working on. Enjoy your crafting time!!

It wasn't based on tyre tracks...but it is a good idea.
During the Eisteddfod there was a one way system on the roads!
