Just To Prove It Was Me Wot Done It…

by | 05.05.2013 | Uncategorized | 23 comments

Carole at Beechwood Quilting took some photos of me in action, however due to going on holiday and some e-mail problems, she wasn’t able to send them over to me until this week, so here you go, just to prove I really did do the quilting on Madrona Corners :oD

The pebbles/cobbles, including the marking I used to guide my bigger ones (this was the highly technical frixion pen approach, which scared Carole & Brian in case it didn’t come out again!):

The white knuckle ride through it (hadn’t realised I was gripping that hard!)

And the final thing straight off the frame, with Brian’s hand holding it up on the left, just in case you thought I was secretly an octopus…

Now I’m planning for Winterkissin’, but I have to sort my back for that first…

    Do you mean you have to get your back right. If so I want you to feel better very soon. Your quilt was a real achievement.

    Great pics. But really, they aren't proof. You could've just jumped on for a photo session 😉
