Het was even stil op mijn blog. Even een weekje op vakantie geweest. Nat en koud is de samenvatting, desondanks een fijne vakantie gehad. De dag nadat we terug kwamen was de eindpresentatie van de cursus. Gelukkig had ik de quilt klaar voordat ik met vakantie ging.
It was a bit quit on my blog. Had a week holiday break. Wet and cold is the summary but nevertheless, I had a nice holiday. The day after we came home I had the presentation of the final assignment of the quilting course. The quilt was finished just before we went away. Fortunately because my family didn’t like the idea of me, my quilt and my sewing machine on vacation. Looking at my result I didn’t have the ‘wow feeling’ . But, since I didn’t have time left I left it like it was. The day of the presentation was the first one I saw it again and my first thought was that it wasn’t alright. See for yourself. The felted part is too much a piece on it’s own. It doesn’t fit. In the mean time I had several ideas about improving the quilt. These vary from ‘rip the felt off’ till ‘cut the whole quilt into pieces and sew them together again. In time I learned that the last solution isn’t one you should execute immediately, these ones are a bit irreversible. The last idea is that I remove the felted part and make something else out of it. Don’t yet what or how. The background is pretty ok I think.
The work of me and my fellow course mates will be seen at the annual show of the Dutch quilters guild in September. Due date for the photos for the catalogue is June 1st, so I can do something about it. I am in good company, almost the complete group has got work to do before the work is show proof.
