Unfortunately I've been struck down with a horrible sicky bug, so I'm curled up in the chair with my sampler Quillow. You can see the original quilt finish post here. The way in which the Quillow is constructed means that one of the cushion panels gets left unquilted when using a sewing machine as I did, which on my last quillow I just left, but today I grabbed the orange variegated Pearl cotton thread and started to sew.
I'm really pleased with how it turned out, considering my hand sewing is really atrocious! I'm naturally a lefty but when it comes to some things, including ironing and sewing, my brain just can't decide which hand to use, so it was done with a bit of both!
The dog has obviously been laying on the quilt, it definitely needs a wash now and I didn't want to attempt the hand quilting after it had gone all crinkly.
So now this quilt is really finished and I'm off to have a chicken cuppa soup... Have fun and eat loads of chocolate! Xx
