Been Quilting


All three seasons of Downton Abbey. Almost all the Ted Med lectures, plus a few others. About a dozen beers. And one very sore set of shoulders later and I am done quilting this beast! (Yes, that's a king sized bed up there with a deep mattress.)

No, that's not an earthquake, that's me jumping up and down.

Now, just to bury a million threads, square it up, bind and wash it. Thanks for all the cheerleading along the way!


That's our original wedding quilt underneath.

Oh, it is well worth the time. It looks great and the quilting is amazing! You are moments away from a new project.

It's beautiful. Having read you for years, I know how long it took from "I'm going to make this quilt" to "quilted". But it really is gorgeous... Well done!

And Downton... How I love it, even with its 'convenient' writing. There are moments of unlikely turnaround/rescue in the series that I've taken to calling a "Downton ex machina". hahaha!

Quilting feels like taming fabric. Now I will stick to your story about the taming the wild beast. Great idea to start a weekend!
