Pleased....

I am pleased that my quiltie got to Jo safely and that she liked it!

Onto some baby stuff....I am making bumpers for the cradle and decided on four panels each side (they are white) and I machine embroidered each a different pattern and my idea was to use some doilies on each. These were either done by me, my mother or my grandmother and as Susan & Mark are into recycling and things old, I thought this would look lovely. Wrong!!! It looks awful!!! In theory sounded nice but reality the doileys look too heavy even though they are fine thread. I think it is because the panels are narrow which of course means if I had done them one piece I could maybe only used 3 instead of needing 4 each side. Anyway onto plan B and maybe applique on something cut from a childs print fabric. Don't know but better decide soon!!

Strange how we set this blog up to work through the Art Quilt book and of course we haven't got very far. Things just agetting in the way!!!
