Peek-a-boo

To try and keep myself on track I pre plan what I should do for about 3 weeks at a time. It doesn't always work out as planned but it does mean I never sit around wondering what to do. When I checked the diary today it told me to work on Peek-a-boo. The idea was that by having a break from See Sound I wouldn't get bored and it would get finished quicker.

It still seemed like a good idea so this is what I have been doing today. I had already prepared the master drawings so I could submit sizes to the Harrogate quilt show. I used the same fabrics I had selected for Miss Baltimore. Those lips are Miss Baltimores shoes and really aren't that orange. Her eyes were some fabric I had pulled out to make the shadows in Miss Baltimore's hair but never used. It was a really quick low stress project.

I didn't have any of my usual interfacing here and I didn't want to have to go to my storage unit and get it so I tried some dressmaking interfacing. This interfacing has rows of stitching running through it and is very stable. I like the way it has behaved as a base and I think I might use it again if it quilts up well. As ever it is more expensive but it might be worth it for the added stability in wall hangings.

I am planning to start quilting her tomorrow. I know how I want her to be quilted but I haven't decided which machine to use. I think I might go for the domestic to give Robin a chance to play on the longarm before the NEC as he wants to use it to quilt his entry. On the other hand, it's a lot easier to do on the longarm. Decisions decisions.
