I think I’m making slow but steady progress on my Owl and Hare Hollow quilt at the moment, I’ve currently a lot of other projects vying for my attention and not just sewing either…
As well as trying to sort the top of the garden out after the redevelopment, we’re also about to embark on major building work! We’re knocking the kitchen through to the dining room in order to make the bathroom next to it big enough for a walk in shower. It’s all about future proofing our house for growing old gracefully (or not!) ! I’m not looking forward to the chaos of having both new kitchen and bathroom done at the same time! It’s not due to start until 3rd March but in the meantime I need to empty all three rooms and strip the dining room of wallpaper! I think my sewing room will be my refuge!!
Three weeks ago I was quilting the 30th block, celebrating passing the half-way mark…
I’ve only quilted another three full blocks, but that pushes me to the grand total of 33 blocks which is just over 2/3rds completed. You have to enjoy these mini happy dances as they come along!
The little dots you can see round the quilting are the Frixion pen marks I use to draw the circles. Frixion pen comes off with heat such as a tumble dryer or an iron. I try not to push my luck with it causing issues by just doing dots.
Hand Quilt a long

Chaos indeed! You will no doubt find refuge in your sewing room. 😄 I am like you, fractional happy dances are both necessary and fun.
