Quilt'n Update

Actually I was incredibly productive yesterday as I also started to trim back my patchwork in prep for the backing and packing to go in and on, so I can eventually call it a full blown quilt - this needlework marathon has sofar taken two or is it three years to get this far. Gawd actually I think it's more like four - talk about waiting - but I'm pretty sure I can still count on one hand how many years it's been since we were unceremoniously dumped from the Quilt'n Club, Clovelly chapter. This in itself is quite a feat and I can't say I'm not a teency bit chuffed to at least have one expulsion on my record having been a hopelessly boring wall-flower at school.

And quite frankly it's a wonder those green stiched swatches haven't grown matching lichens in the mean time, stuck up in the cupboard in a brown paper bag for so long it assumed an adour reminicent of something pulled from an octagenarian cat lady's house.

But yes, to get to the point, yesterday I finally sat down and as the gesso'd bowls dried out by the window and carefully snipped myself a carpet of cotton confetti out of the dag ends and daggy fibres of the(roughly) queen size patchwork - I have metres and days to go yet, but it's a start.
