This morning, after a short visit with my mother in St Jacobs, I drove out to Len’s Mill Store<\/a> in Hawkesville. This store was recommended for quilting supplies and I needed to get fabric to border and back my quilt squares.<\/p>\n

The saleswoman in the store was so very helpful! I am a newbie at this and know very little about any of it. We pick a pale yellow for the borders and a matching yellow flannelette for the back. She figured out the quantities I’d be needing, something I had no clue how to do. I paid for my purchases and home I went to start constructing a quilt.<\/p>\n

By 5:30 this afternoon I had my four columns made. Laying them out on the spare room floor it was apparent that one column was too short. \"2719\"<\/a>My grandma made these quilt blocks, likely when she was quite old and her eyesight was not good; they are not very even. The blue square seemed to be the culprit, so I first tried taking it apart and re-sewing it — that wasn’t sufficient. I went looking for fabric to make a new square.<\/p>\n

I wanted another blue but didn’t really have much. I did have a bit of fabric that we’d used for Trina’s flowergirls’ dresses — dark blue with silver spider webs. This really appealed to me — I want this quilt to be flower garden like because Mom’s greatest joy in life was her flowers. And it’s my opinion that gardens need spiders.\"2720\"<\/a>After supper I cut and pieced my spider web block. Laying it down with the other I realized I’d pieced it wrong. Can you see my error?\"2721\"<\/a>Taking it apart and re-assembling it will be a task for another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
