I finally sat & managed to finish hand sewing the binding on the advent calendar today! The weather was so dreadful this morning that we weren't venturing out anywhere so I had a good chance to do that. Plus I needed to get it finished anyway!
I'm not at all happy with it. It's OK but the quilting has made it pretty wavy. I also shouldn't have put a border at the top & bottom. It is really long & skinny now & I don't like it. It is meant to be a present. It still is I guess but I'm not sure who is getting it if anyone! I need to get a hanger for it too. I did get one of mine out to take a picture on the wall but it was too small. That made it look worse!
As soon as I put it out on the floor someone came over & plonked himself on it. He seems to do that sort of thing anytime I put something out on the floor. It's usually a job for when he is in bed as a result! But he plonked himself down & proceeded to read. I had to wait a few minutes for him to get bored & move away.
So there you have it. One advent calendar, regardless of how bad it is! Poo...

Don't be too hard om yourself ...the lovely design makes up for any slight wonkiness.....good for you getting it finished. xx
oh. how disappointing that after all that hard work you're not happy with it. I suppose every now and then it's going to happen... any chance it might grow on you?
