It's hard to believe we're at the end of May, already. This year is flying by.
Next month, we have a rash of birthdays to celebrate - Nanny, Son #2, and Granddaughters #1 and #3. Last week, #3 asked me if I am going to make her a birthday cake. When I asked her what kind she wants, she said, "One with fondant!" I've never worked with fondant, don't know the first thing about it. Probably should practice, eh? And maybe watch some videos.
Today, I am going to finish (mostly) the wedding quilt. Just need to finish sewing on the binding, which I will do on the machine. It would be technically ready for gifting after that, but I may play with some "big-stitch quilting," using some pearl cotton thread I've had for years, just to jazz it up a bit.
Actually, that's a lie. I'm not "jazzing it up" with the pearl cotton quilting, I'm hiding mistakes. Because I am sometimes an idiot, I inadvertently quilted the top half of the quilt with horizontal lines and the bottom half of the quilt with vertical lines. I did not realize this until I sewed the two halves together. Maybe if I run some big, colorful stitches through the diagonal color pattern, it'll look so mixed up that the crazy quilting can be a "design element." 😉
I'll decide about the big-stitch quilting once I see how hard it will be.
