carry on

 OMG I have a strange man singing in my lounge!!
So this post comes to you from the bedroom

Two reasons.
1. I have men in plastering.
2. I have succumbed to some kind of lurgy!!
I hate having men in so I had planned to be out..
..instead I'm in bed with my lap top and not 
with Lisa from jumble and jelly

As you can see I've sewn up my hexagons...
and I was really chuffed at actually finishing,
but when I laid it out on the bed I realised that
it would be more of a wow to be a full quilt
rather than just the end of the bed 
half job I had planned!
In my heart I know its the right thing to do.
So I shall carry on...

It's looking gloriously lovely - carry on please! You are inspiring me to have a go at hand paper piecing - the only thing is that my hand sewing is ridiculously crapadeedoodah and I know I would make a huge pig's bumhole of the whole thing. But then again, do I face the fear and just do it....?

Quilt's looking great - full-size will be stunning! We've just come to the end of building work - they were lovely builders, but so glad to see the back of them. If you want a cup of tea, you have to make about 6 cups! And, as you say, the singing and whistling!! Hope you get rid of the lurgy soon :(

And when you're finished, can you make me one?! It looks incredible - the colours are so vibrant, I love it. It's so got to be full size. I remember having some carpet fitters in to fit carpet into one of our bedrooms. I had a virus which meant a 3 day migraine and sickness. I was in bed hiding under the covers and crying whilst they were banging nails into the gripper rails next door. Not a happy memory! Hope you are feeling better soon. xx

Oh Clare that is a stunner, you clever selfsewn person you! You're clearly a gardening expert too, thank you so much for all your tips and advice, I'm delighted!
Plasterer finished today (for now - one more job to go, when enough boxes have been moved to allow for sweeping arm movements with trowels and gunge). So tomorrow is yet another cleaning-up after workmen type of day, hey ho;)

Get well soon! Your quilt is looking gorgeous and I think you are right to make it bigger - it's beautiful! x

Definately. It's always a huge push after you've finished to get going again (well it always is for me), but your quilt looks fabulous and will just be sensational if it covers all the bed.

I hate having workmen in and class them as a necessary evil. The quilt is looking good but I think you are right to continue.
