I hung my first quilt-the sampler-in my bedroom to block out early morning sunlight. It streams in and lands right on my sleeping face. The way it hits the quilt is so pretty.
I used a vintage floral sheet for the backing of this quilt.
There are a couple projects I am currently working on, a cardigan for myself (which is slow going, but I do feel like it should be done by winter) and another quilt (it’s destined to be an xmas gift so I’ll post pictures of it some time in the future). Anything to stay busy and distract from the difficulties of my personal life. I can’t really say how many times I’ve been told “I don’t know how you do it”. Funny how I thought that life would be smooth sailing after the Great Battle but it certainly has not.
Not by a long shot.

the quilt looks amazing in the light. :) Good luck on your christmas quilt gift! Can’t wait to see it!
That quilt looks so amazing like that!
I wish only good things for you and Shannon, I think of you guys often! Even though I’ve never met you and Shannon only briefly at a BME event eons ago, I still care <3
Thanks, everyone. Positivity does go a long way. I’m feeling more and more lately like getting rid facebook and this blog and, well, everything. Then I remember that blogging and faking it creates a better mood for me. Smiling-however forced-lightens everything.
It all feels so enormously unfair.
The quilt really looks gorgeous! just a word from/to the wise: I have often faded scarves etc beyond recovery using them to block out the sunshine. Of course, living in Australia it’s not surprising that anything left in direct sunshine for a week gets bleached by the sunshine, but it happened to me in Europe as well. If you don’t mind the back getting faded, I would at least rotate the quilt every month or so, so that the fading is equal and not too sharp.
And much love. I often think of how tough the situation must be for you… *hugs*
Aaah. Life sure can be sucksville sometimes. I think there is something in the air..globally. Sucky crapola seems to be making it’s way around.
I really hope that you manage to find a few moment sin each day that can make you feel truly awesome.
Your quilt is lovely! It must be nice to wake up to in the mornings. A good start each day!
I meant “moments in each day” but “moment sin” might be just as gratifying.
The quilt is beyond wonderful and I love you. Mumma, xoxo
It seems unfair because it IS unfair. Enormously, fucking intensely, ridiculously unfair.
Fake it ’till you make it. Worked for me!
