Oh I do love a successful day! One hour on the treadmill (yes, sixty minutes! well, sixty two actually but who’s counting?), a couple of hours writing (Super Secret Project only discussed under The Cone of Silence) and WHACKO DIDDLY-OH stencilling on the fossil quilt that worked! I have procrastinated badly on this one. So much so that I’m now three, whoops, FOUR weeks behind schedule. Originally I planned to applique the fossil patterns on to this quilt, but then I saw a great technique for stencilling at angry chicken
But I’ve been too scared to do it! You know what a mess can be made with colour leaking under the edge of stencils, and I managed to convince myself that this would happen and paralysed myself with fear. I don’t know if it was the excercise high from the treadmill (while watching Dr Phil - got to have something to distract me from the s l o w l y ticking over stats) or just the bravado induced by self-righteousness (did I mention the sixty minute Workout?) but today was the day that I gave it a go. What a FABULOUS method! It’s so easy and works so very well. Here are some of the results…
Tomorrow is quilting day, so I hope to have it finished by the weekend!
