This year I had a first real go at patchwork, which I've been meaning to try out since the lovely quilting exhibition at the V&A in 2010. When this is eventually finished (still working on the hand quilting at the moment) I'll post a making journal, but for now here it is partway through. The reason it looks like a stained glass window is that it is taped up to the light. Quilting turns out to be really hard work, although it's quite satisfying -- a mix of accurate cutting and machining, and then relaxing hand quilting. However, I turn out also to be very wibbly about the accurate cutting bit, so my triangles and squares are frankly all over the shop. To be continued.
