Halloween 2021

 

Another week just flew by, probably because we had been away and we took most of Tuesday to catch up with ourselves. I had to think of a project since I had no customer quilts waiting (although there are now quite a few, all of a sudden). I dug out a long-forgotten reincarnation of “Bewitched” that I had intended to become a show quilt once but then realised that it was not really show-worthy. It seems to be all the rage on the internet to make coats from quilts so I have jumped on the band-wagon and will use the Wiksten Haori/Unfolding jacket pattern. It has also inspired Nella to make a quilted hoodie out of an old quilt. I was not prepared for her to sacrifice a family quilt so we ordered a scruffy one from Ebay.

Other things that we footered about with this week included having a go at making Tofu. Of course we can buy it but it is always fun to give these things a go. It worked fairly well so we soaked it in a marinade and took it with us when we visited Freya for the second weekend in a row because she had invited Nella to a grown-up Halloween party. Nella has really struggling lately with motivation for anorexia recovery so we decided it was a good idea to go to the party despite having cold feet at the last minute. We are hoping to go to Edinburgh for a wee trip soon just to keep reminding her that Life can be fun!
