Stitch This

Chosen!

what, this little thing?! — Don’t ask how long this took…

cheddar and turkey! — subtle colours, no?

: Don't ask how long this took…

Choose-day part 2. This is My Quilt Top. I started it about 8 or 9 years ago and it’s completely stitched by hand. All of it. It took ages, a real labour of love. Now it needs quilting. I thoug I’d start CHoose-days with a bang. I choose to actually get this thing sandwiched up. I have the wadding. I have the (lovely) backing fabric. I will MAKE the time. I will wring it out of my days with my bare hands if I have to. I choose my quilt top.

Oh my. What have I done?

Love the treadmill comment ~ so true! And on a good day, it is So Good 🙂

Am very impressed with your beautiful quilt top – you’ve done the hardwork, it definitely deserves the backing and quilting bit (and now that you’ve ‘chosen’ it publicly, there’s no excuse!) 😉

Totally gorgeous! It makes me want to try a quilt (which is a totally mad notion if you knew how bad my stitching is!).
