My challenge ….

There is a story !!!!!!….

I made this flimsy ohhhh, years ago, I started to quilt it and made a big mess, and of course chucked it in the cupboard, I found it the other day, during our Cyber Stitching weekend, thought to myself as one does, I should unpick this mess and have  another bash at stippling (well mine is more of a more of a meander)….so I did….the girls helped me do the bind, I normally stitch down the bind by hand, but, I did do this one by machine…….so here it is…all done and dusted…

Happy Hump Day, take care, keep safe

  12. Lovely quilt Peg. sometimes a break from a project helps in the end. the length of that time out is not always of importance. In other words. I have something very similar sat upstairs!
