Oh well I tried
April 19, 2020I had thought I would easily finish the second border today but the weather got me. I spent a lot of time working on the garden and preparing the produce. Oh, that and working on training Fenrir. We were warned that about 6 months dogs forget everything they have learned. That isn’t totally acurate but he certainly has needed to go back a few steps and have some intensive guidance. Still something to keep us busy I suppose.
I was pushing to finish but I have realised it is Sunday, and that means a nice long bath so I will have to catch up tomorrow. I think I made a mistake picking something I have done a lot of recently. I haven’t got over that never ending run of flying geese yet so doing more hasn’t really been much fun. When something feels like a chore it takes so much longer. I am very pleased with the effect and honestly nothing else I consdered would have worked as well, but it doesn’t make them more exciting. 
The geese on the other side are different colours and will fly upwards, well as the quilt is currently hung upwards. The quilt is coming out much wilder than I had imagined. I somehow expected more black and less colour. Part of the joy of this process is not knowing what the final quilt will look like, so I will go with the flow and see what happens. I think quilting this will be a bit of a challenge, glad I won’t have to worry about that for a while.
Now I am going to cut this short and head to that bath. Time to pretend I am on holiday and have nothing better to do than relax. It’s funny really, my regular annual holiday has no where to bath at all, yet I associate holidays and baths. Never claimed my brain made sense.
