Winter Quilt:

Winter in China can be brutally cold, and I will not be caught unawares like I was last year. So I have bought myself the most luxurious goose down duvet. But luxury like that deserves to be sleeved in more than just a store bought cover.

So having decided that, I set out to find a decent concept Idea. Almost immediately I decided that a quilted duvet slip will be best, so I set about embroidering groups of 4 x 4 designs. The duvet cover is growing quickly. With a little luck, and a big box of plasters (Quilting always leaves my fingers with more holes than a pair of old stockings) I will hopefully finish this project in the next few days.

We have a 3 day holiday in China this week because of the National days.

Wish me luck. I will post more photos once I am done.

Andy

Wishing you lots of luck to complete this beautiful project! I love your comment, "(Quilting always leaves my fingers with more holes than a pair of old stockings)"! I am a quilter and also love sewing the most tiny stitches in super small felt creations so I understand. You know, your duvet may end up so beautiful that you won't want to use it ;) Keep us updated!
