It turned out a good thing that I didn’t do these feathers
on a customer quilt the first time. I
watched The Threadworks Factory’s YouTube video “Tips for quilting a custom
free-motion feather border” many times but still overlooked one step. After having the first two sides not truly nice, I contacted Patricia Heinrich
Hechler, who (as kind as only she can be) helped me out once more. So then, a little more knowledgeable, I
tackled the other two sides.
After our girls night on Monday my son dropped off oldest
granddaughter as they had somewhat of a nanny crisis and she had to come to the
office with me on Tuesday. Gosh was I
disorganized! I am so used to just
having to take care of myself in the mornings, to suddenly get another soul
going, took some. Especially when I told
her to get dressed and brush her teeth and she so seriously said “but I only
brush my teeth after breakfast”. Heck
yes, little ones need breakfast! Because
we start work so early, we hardly ever eat breakfast during the week.
After she left (yip,
I remembered to serve lunch) I cut and sewed the binding on the front of the
quilt, to be able to do the back by hand once hubby returns and I can sit with
him.
Still rather tired from the overdose of wine I had on Monday,
I decided just to relax yesterday evening, treating myself to a facial scrub
and mask, soaking my feet and paying attention to my toenails. Now and then one
should simply take time out just for you.
