It’s Wednesday, time to show you the progress on my quilt. This week I grabbed my supplies, hooped my quilt and made the first
stitches in the ditch. I only finished the biggest flower.
I enjoyed to see the change of my quilt with just a
few stitches. There’s a bigger photo of this detail on my Flickr-page.
Sharon wrote a large post this week with lots of
tips on how to manage large projects. For me planning the time is a big issue.
Last month I kept a notebook at my side when I was stitching to write the
beginning and ending time. Not only the stitching time, but I also included the
time needed to get ready and the time to put it away again. It was a real eye-opener!
Yes time to set up and put away is a huge issue in family life. I have a room now that means I can just close the door on it all. Before I had that however I kept what ever I working on in a one big plastic storage box in the bottom of my wardrobe. I would pull it out work on what ever it was toss everything back in and then put it away. It is probably one of the reasons I am organised still as when I worked full time I hated having my one afternoon a week spent looking for this or that thing in order to do something. That can be really annoying!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooking good, Annet! Thanks for the link--I'd missed this.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthe fabric is lovely you have used here, has an antique look to me and the work is immaculate.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhen I did my C & G we had to keep a record of time spent on ever project and yes I was amazed, if you wanted to sell work you could never get anywhere what you should for time spent on a design.
This is looking really good. It must feel good to see your progress. Keep it up.
