This is another one that's been lolling around in the cupboard for far too long. Since February 2012 in fact. I'm delighted to say its been finished within two years of starting!!
I'd hauled it out in the big get ready for new year clear out and found the funky squiggley yarn that I'd planned to embellish it with...
And seeing as its partner wall hanging was finished earlier this month it really did need to be sorted out once and for all...
I spent a fair amount of time wondering what to do with the funky squiggly wool....
Then decided that some early lines of quilting to outline the shape was the way to start the ball rolling so to speak...
But after a good start I had to interrupt this to bind the quilt as the amount of fluff coming off the wadding and sticking to the black background fabric was driving me potty. There was nothing else for it, the quilt had to be bound before I could go any further...
Right that's the edges neatly tacked away...
A quick swish of the sticky roller to deal with the unwanted fluff...
and it was on with the quilting! no more time to lolly gag around...
Time to step back and admire for a second....
Mmmmm looking food .....but not quite there yet..... it needs a little bit more something....what a good job there's more squiggly yarn to hand...
A bit of a squiggly twizzle and a fluffy tassle appears....
and a few stitches and the tassle is attached.... it just needs a few friends on the other points.... and then...
Ta dah!!!
Now all I need to do is work out how its going to hang up next to its friend in my sewing room.
Three projects complete in about four weeks I'm going to need to keep glancing up at it in the hope that the finishing bug continues to inspire me to action through the whole year!!
