With Mondays being house-cleaning days, I had to refrain from continuing my binge-watching “Stranger Things” on Netflix. Watching this every spare moment last week means that a couple of other things have been neglected. Knowing I would receive 2 quilts after 5pm on Monday, was just the inspiration I needed to get my life back on track but I have to admit, not watching my early morning series took major willpower.
The 2 quilts, both very similar, arrived as discussed but
being hubby time, I only loaded them on Tuesday. The quilter provided what I do believe is
batting more for upholstery and not ideal for quilting. My quilting foot got hooked on the batting
and it was really no fun to stitch my top straight line, on which I place the
quilt top, on the batting only. Furthermore, the thickness of the batting caused puckers in the top. Not a fun
experience. The sad part is that I know
this, due to past experiences but once a quilter goes through the trouble of
bringing their quilts to me, I feel too bad to send them home to replace the
batting. However, if I wish to continue
enjoying my hobby, I will need to start putting down some ground rules or at
least my foot and refuse to accept these.
Be it as it may, the quilter was satisfied with the end
results. I did the same motif on both
quilts to prevent one grandson to think he got less or more than the other.
