Hooray! Basting day is finally here for my Whig Rose Quilt!
If you can believe it, friends, I had another HUGE BOO BOO with this quilt.
While trimming the excess fabric,
I CUT MY QUILT!
Nutmeg was so scared she ran under the ironing board and hid. Me? I was calm. Stunned might be a better word. Oh well, time to fix it.
I marked the area and carefully removed it. I tried to find a place on the quilting design where I can hide it.
I carefully inserted a new piece of chrome fabric and re-marked the quilting design.
Can you see the fix? It is easier when you know it is there.
I'm trying a new batting. I'm going to use long basting needles and wool thread. why wool? I'm hoping it will grip the layers and hold them.
Good thing that chrome is forgiving! I have a lot of seams.
I am using wide moda unbleached muslin for the backing.
In other news~
I finished the mystery quilt that my guild, Ninigret hosted. These are Downton Abbey fabrics. I used 9 instead of the 12. I just thought it made a good design.
It has been super duper hot this week so made a great cold lunch salad.
Tomatos, cucumbers, leaf lettuce, feta, red onion and the best part: leftover garlic herb parm bread. I re-heated the leftover garlic before cutting into large cubes. A good drizzle of red wine vinaigrette and I felt I was back in the Mediterranean. YUM
Here is my design wall. Lots of creative crazy going on here.
Thank you for leaving such nice comments I so appreciate them.
Stay Safe and Stay Well and have a great week.
