This morning Sue came round to help me pack up my quilts. I started with covering the bed with hand quilted 'Medieval Tile Quilt' that took me 7 years to make! Then brought quilts together from the Georgian mahogany chest they're normally stored in and those draped over the bannisters from hanging on the walls and lay them on the bed to sort by size and type. I cut 'noodles' to size while Sue ripped strips of old sheet and then rolled and tied them in 3's and 4's. The largest quilts were refolded and placed in pillowcases. Next step will be matching the rolls with storage bags or wrapping them in pillow cases and sheets ( run out of time to make more bags and my machines are now packed up anyway). I ordered some metre high cardboard boxes for transporting them.
That's an awful lot of investment of time ( at least half are hand stitched) but I've enjoyed every minute.
