Not Paper Pieced is Finished

 


The Not Paper Pieced quilt is finished. I sat down on Saturday morning, and started sewing. I had found a really silly television show to stream - Holey Moley - about extreme miniature golf. Think miniature golf meets Wipeout, with crazy ridiculous trick miniature golf holes with near impossible tricks. It was just the kind of mindless thing I needed. I worked steadily, taking breaks to have lunch and strip the bed, throw the sheets in the washer, then the dryer, then remake the bed, then have a snack, then make dinner. So I watched ten episodes of season one. 

As you can tell, I finished the flimsy for this quilt in 2019, then brought it to Janet-Lee. We weren't quite sure how to quilt it, so it sat and sat. Now it's done and I'm happy with it, and it will be the centerpiece of my talk to the Seabreeze Quilters in Exeter NH on January 9, 2024.

Happy New Year's Eve!

Love it! It's been a while since this was last shown, I forgot about the bits of Ghastlies fabric seamstress scattered about.

Congratulations on finishing off a long-term UFO. I always feel they need to age properly before they're finished, so finishing a 2019 project now seems right. I'm sure it will be a great part of your presentation, too. Happiest of new years, Lynne. Hope 2024 is good to you!
