when I offered to consult on a commission quilt?
Yes, that's code for 'making the quilt myself'!
Ugh- old pyjama fabric, much of it some sort of worn,
fine cotton,
With some t-shirt knit thrown in to induce more
hair-tearing angst!
Have you ever thought about how long it takes to cut
up PJs,
iron it all, and cut up around the unusable pieces....
All before you could begin properly cutting and piecing?
Anyway, I won't continue b**ching,
I'm just breathing a sigh of relief that
it's finished and ready to be delivered or
sent to the client.

| At least the backing is pretty! |
I'm wondering how they will feel when I tell them I've
spent about 100 (Australian) dollars
on the plain solid fabric, backing fabric, binding fabric,
thread, batting and fabric spray.
I am reminding myself I'm being paid for this,
but when I do the final calculation
on the time spent on it, not including the electricity and
'wear and tear of the machine and my body,
I will yet again say....
"What was I thinking?"
Back to "Happy sewing" now.....
