My respite time was short lived. Yesterday morning The Miraculously Healed Mister was up before dawn and ready to head out with Pup for a walk...sigh.
I'm not going to complain too much. Even though the humidity was still in the 90's the temperatures were only in the low 70's. There was even a bit of a cool breeze. The seagulls seemed to agree with me that it was a fine morning as they were gathered in great numbers everywhere you looked.
Since we were out and back at such an early hour I had some time in the afternoon to tackle this after I vacuumed and scrubbed floors.
The quilting equivalent to steeking is removing all those paper pieces. There was a lot to remove.
It was scary at first and then it was fun. It took a while but they are all out.
Now I get to applique the piece down on the backing fabric before I make a sandwich out of it so I can machine quilt it. It's a good thing I enjoy doing this because it's going to take a while.

I always wondered what happened to those pieces of paper. Now I know.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying our cooler weather right now too. Windows wide open and I'm able to hear the wind chimes and water fountain on the balcony. Just lovely. I can"t imagine how much work that quilt will be but it will definitely be a work of art when finished. It's gorgeous.
