遵循这些热点提示,为一个真正的沮丧和压力的经验!
首先,要确定客户是家庭成员的朋友——这意味着,要退出或说“不”就有点难了。哦,他们只支付材料的费用,而不是你的时间。
接下来,确保客户不知道你做什么或者被子是如何构造的。理想情况下,他们应该不知道尺寸、颜色或设计,也没有明显的兴趣来讨论这些问题。
最后,安排好时间,这样就能与你生活中真正有压力的事件完全吻合,比如你从旧地方搬出来后,房子的搬迁失败了。
恭喜你!现在你已经准备好最大限度地拉扯头发了!的时刻!
撇开灰头发不谈,我觉得它其实还不错:
这也是我仅有的一张关于这个被子的WIP照片,因为我几天前才用我的相机重新组合。I usually like to have a good progression of WIP pictures, but it simply wasn’t possible this time. The brief was for a “king-size” quilt for a wedding at the end of August. However, I couldn’t get any dimensions other than the standard measurements for a UK king-size mattress, which I based the size of the centre panel on. And I did manage to eventually get a colour brief of “maybe blue, definitely NOT brown” and some fabric picks to work with. I took it upon myself to throw in some cream-coloured fabric to warm things up a smidge. Given the circumstances, I shamelessly chose the simplest design I could think of – rail fence with some sashing. I think it actually took me longer to figure out how to sort out the sequence of 2″ squares around the centre than it did to piece the rails together.
With the borders, the quilt has ended up being approximately 80″ x 90″, so it’s a bit on the small size for a “proper” king-sized quilt, but there should be at least a bit of spare quilt to hang over the edge of the bed. It’s also easily the largest thing I have quilted to date. Nearly all of the construction and quilting was done while camping out for three weeks with my aunt and uncle, so I’m feeling like it’s lucky there’s a quilt at all. Also, I now feel I very much owe my aunt and uncle a quilt too – this beast would never have reached the quilting stage if they hadn’t engineered a chance for me to borrow the floor of the local village hall to do the pin-basting on and let me take over half their dining table and living room with quilting stuffs.
栏杆中心被绗缝在直线,与一些波浪形线的预先编程缝线Pfaff。最初,到处都是只有直线,但奶油边界是迫切需要一些额外的和幸运的是我买了一些奶油色线的正确的颜色和重量,所以我试图填料设计留下的一切,给它一个必要的完成。
这得不错,我想,我发现关于叶的一个重要事实 - 他们可以在所有的几乎任何形状,但如果他们有一种观点和中脉那么他们会看起来像一片叶子!我把这称为“奎尔特的花式”树,又名Lolwat?藤蔓。
现在几乎完整的 - 所有的左边是手工完成的结合,这是我很担心中途已经通过,并掩埋在绗缝一些线头的条纹外边缘。我也许应该理清标签的一些方式添加到后面,有一次我发现幸福的夫妇的名字......
与WIP周三在新拼凑,让蜜蜂的社会,自由运动小牛(当它开始运行时)我能得到一个欢呼吗(当它开始运行时)TGIFF(当它活;我应当与再结合进行!)
