Getting back onto the horse

During summer it seems that sewing and other needle crafts came to a complete halt here ... the last quilt related accomplishment was auditioning quilting thread for the owly quilt:

Round 1:


Round 2:


Apparently then I completely forgot about my decisions and started quilting using white thread, which looked somewhere between ugly and weird. So I recently spent an evening unpicking it all ... only to realise that I really couldn't for the life of me remember the selection I only made less than three months ago.

Well, thanks to my blog-keeping, I had an excellent source of intel. Not. I hadn't even recorded the above yet. Let's hope I won't forget again! And that I stay on the horse!
