Excellent progress was made with the tiny needle this weekend.
Rupert helped me decide on the colours I wanted to use for the next section (the fairy’s skirts). And after that he settled in while I stitched away
We got two sections of the skirt completed, and made a bit of a start on the third, and biggest section. I can probably finish that section up this coming weekend.
This is certainly moving along much faster than I expected. As mentioned, I bought this pattern book some time in 1993 (I was about 14 years old). I didn’t make anything from it until the early 2000s, when Samantha had her first child. I made the Fairy Godmother for her, and I remember it being an absolute slog of a project! It just shows how time and age can change your perspective – I’m enjoying EVERY stitch of this one!

That’s a lot of stitches! You’ll have this done in no time. I agree about that time thing. Age gives us patience. Young me could have never done the things I do today. When I look at my early attempts at quilting, I cringe. I was all about the product. Now I just enjoy the process.

So pretty. There are a lot of colors in this piece and you’ve managed to stitch quite a bit.

Okay, how do you do it without any lines printed?

Yes, so many projects I started in my teens, I would give to my Mom to finish because they became a slog! Now, that is rarely the case! It’s nice to grow up!
