pic update
Pic update - yay! We got home from Williamsburg last night and all I felt like doing was quilting, so I did! It’s looking pretty good and I'm pleased with how fast it's going. Some time soon I shall have to do some serious measurements to figure out where the batting needs to end (no batting at the waist line - I have enough bulk thank you! :>) and figure out how many rows of stitching I want at the bottom to I can trim that up.
I’m trying to decide if my originally planned two 45" panel petticoat will be full enough. It doesn’t look like it to me. I don’t want an overly full petticoat but I don’t want it to look wimpy either. I should double check what my current petticoats actually measure around…
And the pocket, I’ve been working on this in fits and starts and then not at all since I started quilting again. I don’t have a pressing need for it (or the supplies from Wooded Hamlet to make it up) so I’m just saving it for those occasions when I can take it traveling. It’s so small and easy to lug around, unlike the petticoat!
Williamsburg was fun, if wet. It bucketed down all day Saturday but Sunday turned out to be a lovely fall day. We never did make it to the historic area but it’s okay. I’m feeling a bit bored with CW at the moment (a terrible thing to say I know) and we will be back (with friends) for the Grand Illumination anyway.
