Gold stuff Gone

Sorry, that alliteration was a bit strained.  The local fabric shop has my number and gives it out if their customers ask " do you know anyone who . . . "

A lady called a few weeks ago, could I make a replacement cloth for her  bedside table?  I imagined 12/18 inches square, not much work, so agreed.  She turned up with a circular tablecloth, 2m / 6 ft across. And 4m gold fabric. And 6.5m gold bias binding.

 I was not happy!  

Anyway over the last two weeks I have joined the fabric, cut the circle, machine stitched gold binding and then hand stitched the back of the binding, all 6.28m of it


It's horrible . . . But it's now finished and collected, and I have a pocket of cash, so (excuse the pun) this cloud had a *gold* lining!

    Oh my! It's really hard to work on something you don't like. Looks like it turned out great though. Way to go!
