A little panic in patchwork paradise
Here is Ilsa’s quilt. It needs to be finished, quilted and shipped off to England in the not very distant future otherwise there is no way it will make it by Christmas. Actually, my intention was to take it with me when I make a flying visit over to mum’s next week and mail it from there. Somehow I rather doubt that that’s going to happen – especially as I’m off to Germany over the weekend.
(Memo to self: Must stop gallivanting. Would be much more productive if I just stayed at home and got on with things).
So, having realized what a task I have in front of me, today you find me making stars like a crazy woman. And how much fun is that? The fabric is Amelia and I’m speeded up no end by my trusty little Quilt in a Day flying geese ruler. To be honest, I wonder how I ever managed before I got this little gem. My stars are way quicker – and totally accurate. Go out and buy one all you quilters out there. It WILL transform your life!
What a blissful way to spend an afternoon!

What a beautiful quilt this will be, Helen. The colors are cheering and soothing all at once – not a very common combination, but you’ve done it!

You got me convinced and I will order your flying geese ruler. Not that I need much persuading to buy any tools and gadgets!

Carry on gallivanting, that’s my advice. I’ve no doubt you’ll still get everything done! It’s a truly beautiful quilt.
