Pockets and Pinafores

Hello and welcome to the latest episode in the Quiltagon Saga – If you’re new here, start with this post, and you’ll find the other posts in the Quiltagon category.

It’s been a week and I’ve been back at work for the whole of it, so progress has slowed down a little, but here’s where we’re up to now!

Today has been an exciting day – Not only did I finish* the embroidery for the Quiltagon project, but I got to actually do a bit of sewing as opposed to embroidering as part of it!

On Saturday I made another attempt at embroidering the Sun with the embroidery machine, this time taking care to check how the .exp files had aligned on the machine.

This week has involved a lot of work on the quiltagon (partly because it has been too warm to do much else!)

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post on the Quiltagon!

You know how sometimes you come up with an idea for a project and you instantly realise that you both need to actually do it and also that you will absolutely come to regret mentioning it to anyone?

Honestly, the title here says it all.

So in my defence, I’m going to Electromagnetic Field festival this summer and the vibe i get is that this is the sort of thing that might be appreciated there.

Between the madness of being a judge for a reasonably well-known children’s book prize, I’ve had the pleasure of a lovely work colleague giving me a new (to me) machine!
