Finally, it’s done. Well, almost!

\nElla is off the needles. It fits me better than it fits David, I promise! Not blocked yet, this picture was taken within minutes of it being finished. Better pics to come!
\nAnd another long term project is done. I made a quilt for Em. My first full size quilt – and possibly my last. I didn’t really enjoy making it, but I’m glad I did.

\nI’m pleased with the end result, and I think Em is too!

\nIt’s the Jelly Filled<\/a> quilt by Thimble Blossoms, made with a Moda “Ruby” jelly roll and some extra fabric. I chose these colours because they’re girly without being babyish.
\nWhen I sew, I’m a guesser. It’s a bit odd really, because I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist in everything else, but I sew by feel and instinct rather than by careful measuring and precision. That doesn’t really work in quilting. There was a great deal of exasperation and unpicking involved in this quilt.
\nAnd I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t actually do the machine quilting. I didn’t want to ruin the hard work I put into the piecing, so I paid someone else to quilt it for me!
\nBut I’m happy with it, and it looks nice on Em’s bed.

\nThere’s a reason why you can’t see anything other than the bed. My idea of a clean bedroom doesn’t have the same execution as hers.
\nBut at least the quilt is pretty!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
