My everending quilt is done. I was working on it three years and only had about ten blocks to prove for my sweat and tears. I was hand quilting it. Not wanting to give up the time I had invested in it, I asked Pat Blum to finish it. It took her year and next week is when I'll be picking it up.
This project started with me wanting to make two baby blankets for my twin nieces who are four by the way. However, the woman in charge said, it would be nice to make something for myself instead. Ok, mind you I'm not a fabulous sewer, I thought this was something I could handle. So week after week, I trudged up to June's house and spent about three hours mercifully trying to sew a knot.
For all this pain I endured, more discomfort was added with me paying $75.00 every ten weeks. After about three years June and her husband Jay moved to MA and I was left with my quilt pieces, the other paying clients and our determination to finish. My motivation went out the window about six months after June left; so, it was fate when I met Pat and gave her my project.
Hallelujah! I can't wait to place my quilt on my bed.
Lesson learned, start off small. Those baby blankets would have been a perfect start.
