Marking Time!

My latest quilt is finished...

the Wensleydale pattern by Jen Kingwell.

I decided once I'd basted it that I'd hand quilt it.

I used Aurifil 28 in a bright red for the quilting in a 

simple design,

basically copying what Jen Kingwell had done on her 

original design. 

I also used a piece of bamboo batting that I'd picked up

 on Facebook Marketplace for a bargain.

Originally this quilt I'd called "Carisbrook" after my new 

hometown.

But as I named my last finish "Carisbrook Cabin" I 

decided to change it up a bit.

So "Marking Time" it is....

For two reasons- this quilt marks my time of moving 

from the beach to the country.....

I started piecing it back in August in Brighton and 

finished it here in Carisbrook.

The second reason is that I feel I have been marking 

time - marching on the spot- with my quilting for the 

last few months.

So maybe it's time to get more productive, 

especially as the cooler Winter weather arrives.

There will be at least a couple of months of 'at home' 

activity 

and sewing should take priority!
