You should see it close up! Nel would say it's full of faults, but I
say it maps a journey, and the whole is far greater than the sum of its
parts. On the wall above my head as I slept, it was stunning. And very
peaceful.

Nel and I met when we were at Durham University, back in about 1976!
She is the GMNT's godmother. I have followed this quilt from inception,
inspecting and admiring as it was first pieced and later quilted. Nel
is a very good seamstress, but hand quilting amazing projects seems to
be her favourite stitchery.

Thanks everyone. I feel a bit calmer about it all now. As Kate says,
all I see are the Arachne stitches! I remember when I started it
asking why my stitches didn't pucker like they were supposed to. So
most of you have been with me since its inception, too!
And it never did pucker up! But I am very proud that I get more
stitches on the backside than Amy Emms. I am told that most
prfessional quilters don't look at the underside of their quilts and
only reckon to get 70-80% through to the other side, let alone the
same length. I aim to get mine reversible, like my Great Aunt's
quilts (who was a Welsh quilter from Aberdare). It means my stitiches
are about 8spi, but I like to think they're fairly even.

I'm still hunting for the epitome of an etui or chaterlaine.
