the sun has gone down and the moon has come up
My quilt front is so almost done I can smell it, except that, of course, I got distracted by something else, didn't I?
Which is the pinterest algorithm, to be precise. I actually really dislike it, because it floods your feed with the exact same thing you've just been looking at, and I don't want that! I want similar things, but not the same!
Anyway, I made the mistake of looking up slow stitching. I say it's a mistake because then the algorithm throws me back two textile artists, both of whose work I like. But it does it every single time. You would think nobody else on the planet has ever sewn anything.
So then, because I was inspired by the one person, I went and dug out a load of different coloured evenweave fabric/linen, and now I am reclaiming spare pieces by unpicking the embroidery my mum didn't finish. I sort of feel guilty, but I feel like that about every one of her things I've wanted to use in the last four years, and I think I've even said it before. I think she'd approve, to some degree though. I'm recycling!
(Although the temptation to buy my own linen is Too Real, especially since I saw Hobbycraft have some fat quarters on sale right now).
I am going to get back to the quilt, though, because I have no desire to leave it in the state it's in, and it won't take long to sort out the evenweave (I say, having spent an entire afternoon on it yesterday).

I don't really have anything else to say - not much is going on because of the time of year - but I am going to visit my brother and sister in law (and nephew, ofc) tomorrow! So that should be a good time!

Finally, I realise it's a bit late in the month to post this, and everyone is doing holiday (or other) stuff, but how about the post once a day meme for me to answer stuff in January?
The rules:
- You don't have to be following me or ever have commented to request a topic.
- If you're doing the meme, I'll leave topics for you, too! Feel free to link me at any time if you want one.
- Feel free to just leave a topic and no date. I'll fill it in.
