I did go down the road to the post box and get lunch but apart from that have been working on the table cover.
Before endless fabric photos I will go back to the book which I started to ready last night. I have been right off the reading, it is always a more off than on thing with me although I love having books. It is by Graham Norton, I saw it at The Works yesterday.mi didn’t know he had written anything but the blurb sounded interesting and although I have read a lot yet I think I will enjoy it.
The first job with the table cover was working out the order for the side panels so that I could get them joined up. After deciding on the order it was more labels with arrows and numbers,
Got them together and pressed without mishap!
I then had to attach these panels to the main body of the cover. It really is huge, bigger than a lap quilt, so quilt bulky and the lining up could be better, but top completed.
The corners needed trimming, ended up measuring with a ruler and marking one corner, a bit heath robinson, then when one end was cut I copied the shape onto the other end.
Tina has had a busy day and Darren goes out to archery on a Tuesday so I got dinner prepared and now taking it easy. My legs were bad last night and have been very painful today, but they have settled a bit now, which is good.
I need to buy the wadding for the table cover but already have the backing fabric. But not sure I will do the layering tomorrow as that will be challenging, maybe a day off!
Nice to have a bit of company for a trip to the leisure centre. The Rev must been keen to get up and out at that time of day! 😊 Could be a regular joint exercise session for you both. Good idea walking back another time. Saying hello to the sea is always good, as is a nice hot chocolate 😊
ReplyDeleteI’ve not read a book for a very long time now. Not sure I could get back into the reading nowadays anyway. If I did it cert wouldn’t be Graham Norton. I can’t abide him, he gets on my nerves 😬 He probably thinks the same about me!
The quilting is coming on in leaps and bounds. You really have ploughed through this one. Maybe a day off tomorrow is a good idea. You’ve got it to that stage without too many problems, so have a rest and don’t push your luck! I think it’s going to look great when it’s finished. It is big though!
It has been a pretty good day all in all. Getting stuck into something has made a change, will try and keep the enthusiasm up now!
DeleteWe plan to go to the pool again on Thursday, all being well.
