A while ago I was asked by my son to make a quilt as a wedding gift for his friends who planned to get married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, my idea was to make windmills. My son asked the pair which colors they liked, and I ran off to go<\/em> shopping at the Pani Szpilka<\/a> online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I even got there Roll&Press from Clover. I admit that in the beginning I tried to distance myself from<\/em> it. I do not quite believe in all the different patchwork gadgets, but I was nicely surprised. It really is a<\/em> quick and effective tool to crease the stitches and it did a great job with my windmills.<\/p>\n\n\n

The fabrics were purchased, the game plan was decided, and went to work. It was not easy. Unfortunately, because my arm still hurts, sewing at the machine has become a bit of challenge. The plan began fall apart slightly at the basic level. But it was not that bad yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On less hot days, I sat on the terrace and sewed these windmills. My newly adopted female Sara kept me company.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was great but it is also vacation, guests arrived. And again, a few precious days passed by, which were to be used for sewing. I kept telling myself with a little enthusiasm \u201cyou can do it\u201d, and \u201cyou will finish in time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But no. I needed to be completely taken out. I got food poisoning. I thought I was going to die. And my patchwork lies there and waits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think, I can not do it. I am almost on the finish but cannot do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do? My son tells me, \u201cmom, don\u2019t worry, if you don\u2019t make it in time its fine, they will get<\/em> the gift at another time.\u201d But how, I made him a promise. I will do it even if I must stay up at night. And<\/em> the result? I made it in time, hurrah me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, while sewing this patchwork I used fleece fabric on the bottom. It was actually a fleece blanket that I bought in Tesco. And I must tell you that thanks to the blanket I finished on time. Why? Because I wanted the back of the patchwork to be soft, so I quilted it very sparingly. It worked. My arm and stomach were dying but I made it. I even managed to make two pillows from scraps.  I am proud of myself and I hope that the newlyweds will like it.<\/p>\n\n\n
