I know there is something written about The Luggage having eaten a spellbook (the octavo maybe?), sulked for a few days and spat it out again.
I think it's in Sourcery but I can't find it.
Can any of the PHD level Kevins help me out please? I need an exact quote to embroider onto a quilting project!
Ok, so I found a kit at a good price on a destash site. I liked the look of the William Morris fabrics and the pattern so bought it for something to start over the 2 week break at Xmas.
Only when I got into the pattern did it dawn on me just how many HSTs there were in this thing.
I... have some foibles around HSTs. I dont own a bloc-loc ruler so for ease of trimming (not to mention bulk reduction at the points) I press the seams open. Except I also have a thing about open seams... open seams that flip under the presser foot irritate me soooo they all get starched *solid* so the damned things stay put. This does however mean they take considerably longer to do.
Because apparently I'm a masochist.
There were 330 of them in this, a number seared in my brain under "never again" 🤣
Although I have to concede the back did look rather pretty.
The long armer did a lovely E2E job on it. I was showing it to a colleague over Teams when my cat B'hrian decided that what I was holding up was actually *his* blanket fort thank you very much (picture 4).
This weekend some friends kindly agreed to stand on stepladders so I could get a pic of the whole thing.
Love the finished quilt. Zero plans to make another one 😂
