I had such a busy doing nothing in particular weekend that I almost forgot to update my blog! Firstly, I had quite a few quilts to do at work then I went in on my day off to quilt the strippy quilt that I made myself from fabrics bought at Malvern last autumn.
One of the customer quilts was a vintage 1980s hand pieced quilt that its maker was finally persuaded to get finished. The filigree design really lifted it I think.
My own quilt was done with a modern baptist fan design and neon pink thread. I considered adding prairie points but then told myself it is just an everyday quilt that Nessie is allowed to sleep on so just putting a scrappy binding around it would suffice.
My weekend was spent faffing around doing household chores, groceries, organising my shed and cutting back some soggy dead flowers in my garden. I brushed Nessie in anticipation of a dog show in the park but it was cancelled due to an incorrect weather forecast. She was not particularly bothered.
Although I quite enjoy just pottering around at the weekend I must try to do something different for a change. I keep meaning to rejoin the National Trust except it seems a bit pointless if the properties might be closed over the winter. If only I had a hobby…;)
