Seems ages since I sat at the computer.
I gave myself a break and indulged in a busy social schedule for a couple of days.
I caught up with lots of friends from many different interests in my life and it just happened to occur all at the same time.
However, it was wonderful, but I don't need to eat for a week or so now. I'm all talked out, I'm all birthday-ed out and I didn't have a meal home for 5 days.
I gave a presentation at Guild last Thursday night and for the first time I shared my progress on the Bayeux.
I ummed and ahhed about doing so… but decided that my home Guild are important to me and I would share the progress with them.
I haven't seen the quilt it in this form either so it was new to me as well!!!.
I work on it, a foot or two at a time and that's the way I get through it.
But gees, daylight savings began today so now I effectively have to be up at 3.00 tomorrow instead of 4.00. !!!
I spent 6 hours today working on the beads of my African lady.
When you look at it like this it doesn't look much, but its a bit tedious going round those beads with the sewing machine. Some are rather small.
I decided not to thread paint the beads because I want them to stand out.
Originally I was going to bead the picture… but I rejected that idea because I couldn't get the angle of the beads correct. I may be able to finish the thread painting tomorrow, then I have to make the small pieced blocks.
What a special treat for your guild to be able to see the Bayeux at this point. It is spectacular!
it was nice to see it out in this format for me Wendy. I only get to see it on the table.
