Before going to bed on Sunday eve, I had my top assembled
thus achieving my goal for the weekend. And if you are looking for the mistake
I mentioned in my previous post….. I fixed it (irrespective of what I may look
like from behind, my conscience is still bigger than my butt)!
Monday was a little rougher in that after work, I had to
clean the birds’ room (another one of hubby’s chores that I had to take over,
this week) and run some errands for the office before I could even think of
quilting but I still managed to add two borders to my quilt top.
Tuesday I had to wash carpets. Having 3 huge dogs, each having a couple of
favourite spots on which to chew their juiciest bone, our carpets never stay
clean for long. I however noticed we
tend to make a cleaning job a much bigger issue than it really is. Got home, spot sprayed two rooms and let the cleaning
agent sit. Went to my sewing room,
started doing either cutting, pinning, single seam stitching or whatever was
next on the agenda and then returned to room 1 to wash the carpet, break to
quilt, spray room 3 and this went on and before long I not only had a house
with clean carpets but the third and final border sewn onto my quilt.
Wednesday off to my favourite Pfaff dealer to get backing
and backing and then I sat behind my Pfaff Grand Quilter to practise my overall
free-motion pattern…… wait for it….. with metallic thread. Lots of prayers need to be sent my way,
please.
Then it was time to go outside to my newly discovered (but
actually old) quilt basting table and before any cat could become annoying on
this blanket mom put outside, I had the basting done.
Now I am disappearing from the blogging world for a while as
I have to focus on SLOW and painfully patient quilting hoping to become good
friends with the metallic thread…. Otherwise I’ll just quilt the thing in
yellow thread and pretend it is gold. Oh and I am trying out my new ruler foot
without the hopping motion. I just
figured I paid a fortune for it, if I can only use one foot instead of changing
all the time, I might as well do it, so wish me luck.
