It is finished.

[seldear]

The quilt is done! It took about two weeks to make in 'real time' but in terms of time actually spent on the quilt, I'd say it took about 4 days of work - if that. The trickiest bits were where I had one plan in mind and something happened that meant I had to change my ideas. Or get more material.

Anyway, it's for a queen-sized bed, machine quilted, Irish Chain pattern, cotton front and back and padding, with a nylon-front/cotton-back for the quilting thread.


Finished Quilt!


A closer look at the patching.


Detail of the pattern on the material.


The back (plain black).


The plaque I put on it. Just in case they forget who made it for them or where they got it!

Now, to get to other things before I head up for Wedding!Con in a week! EEK! A WEEK!

wow! That looks amazing! Congrats! and yes, a week to go. OH god, I need to catch up on my sleep NOW!

[stars-like-dust.livejournal.com]

Oooh, pretty.

Also, looking forward to meeting you!

[dannylurks.livejournal.com]

That's beautiful, Sel. :-)

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Cool!

So that's one less excuse for not downloading JL eps, right? ;)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Yes. Catch up on... Oh, who am I to talk? *g*

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon!

Definitely looking forwards to seeing you! Becc and I will be up on the Wednesday - are you going to be at Pancakes on Thursday night?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Wendy!

Query about Manchester - is the international airport near any public transport? Bus/train/tube station?

[stars-like-dust.livejournal.com]

I have work, so no. I finish at 9, so if you're still going to be in the city past 9:30, I'll come in, but otherwise I can't make it.

This is ridiculous. I can talk to you on AIM. *g*

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Um. Yes. *g*

That, and I still have no space on my computer...

Burn the discs and bring them to Vegas. :) And we'll watch Wild Cards. *g*

It has a train station - Sue caught a train to there when she went home a couple of years back. I'm sure she'd be able to tell you how far it is from the airport.

It's gorgeous, Sel. Well done!

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Do you know if the trains run at night, or only during the day? Could I get an overnighter from Manchester to Nottingham?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Am glad it's finished now!

[cailetr.livejournal.com]

[amilyn.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous work. *hugs*

[cheekygal.livejournal.com]

*bounces* Oh, that's so LOVELY. And your icon? *falls over laughing*

[distant-cord.livejournal.com]

Wow, fantastic work sel! Congrats!

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Muy purty! :D

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Not actually my icon. coltsbane pointed it out and I had to snitch. I really should create my own version, though.

[dannylurks.livejournal.com]

Sorry I've been a while replying, Sel. I've had computer probs. Anyway, try this site. Just type in Manchester Airport, Nottingham and when you're wanting to travel. I've just had a look at today and there seem to be occasional trains overnight, but they're few and far between.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw your post! It's all working again, then?

There's a train at 3:30am that reaches Nottingham around 7am, which might be an option. I can get some sleep on the flight out from HK - enough to tide me over for the day and night of the 9th, I think.

That's absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations! :) :)
