I cleared the dining table when we got back ready to do the layering of the table cover, a big job. Pandora was very pleased to have a nice clear sun trap so I was a bit delayed!
I put the backing material on the table first and used pegs to try and help keep it flat!
Then the batting and on top the squared top.
All nice and smooth and then the laborious pinning.
So ready for the quilting now.
After lunch I went in the front garden for a while. Pruned and tidied the bed by the wall at the left, then started to move the fairy garden ornaments. Decided to re-position them by the bay tree. I carried one paver across but then got the wheelbarrow out!
Then it was time to think about dinner. Pity thinking doesn’t actually produce it!
Some good tv tonight and not planning much else today.
It was a bit chilly this morning, but at least you got out, and you did get one good bargain. I’m sure it won’t be long before you make something in it.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting does look big when it’s laid out like that! I really don’t envy you having to get that lot through the machine. You’ll either be sweating or swearing by the time you’ve finished, or both!
All that and gardening as well, you are keen.
I always think it would be nice if dinner would get itself, but it never does.
Enjoy the programs.
Getting back into the swing of things a bit at a time.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing of the table cover will be a challenge!
