Top returned home :)
I’d finished the top some months ago but I
hadn’t known what to do with it. I had not wanted to ruin the top with
my dilettantish (I didn’t know this word exists in English! That’s
pretty cool.) free motion quilting. When I went to the „Patchworktage“
fair in Dinkelsbühl, Germany last year (that's the annual(?) meeting of the German patchwork guild), I visited Nana’s stand. I was very impressed by her skills and sent her my
top. Look what she did with it! Isn’t it gorgeous? I really love it.
All I have to do is to tie off the yarn and do the binding.
