I am forgetful
I started this full of good intentions, then my middle age brain decided to forget all about it! For those of you that come into the shop, this will be no surprise. I'm at the shop today with not a lot to do, so decided to get the laptop out, rather than the sewing machine. I've been very busy making things this week, so I'm due a break. I finally braved my first ever quilt ! I've been sewing since I was a child but a blanket is not something I've ever tried. I think it's the accuracy of the cutting that has put me off, when making clothes, or crafting, I'm not particularly fussy. When it comes to the patchwork part of a blanket, you really need those squares to match. I was lucky enough to have a cheat. I had been given a packet of 25cm x 25cm squares , a few years ago, but I've never quite worked out what to do with them...tada! The squares went together really well, I'm so pleased. I backed it with some woven back fleece that I'm selling ...
