It took some effort to get a deep enough hole for the rawl plug (how impressed are you that I even know what these things are called!) and screw, but I was laser focussed and wasn't going to be beaten!
I'm chuffed to bits with how my very special Brit Bee Giant Linen Star quilt looks above my bed! (Please ignore the 'too long' metal rod sticking out the bottom of the quilt! I'm waiting on a hack saw!!)
I've been keen to get this quilt up in my room, because of it's symbolism and significance to me. I may now be alone in my bed at night, but I have the reminder of a community of close quilty friends right above my head!
And before I go, check out this awesome blogiversary giveaway that Reene and Yvonne are hosting! It's a cracker!

ReplyDeleteWell done! I've not used a drill yet. I've put those plugs in but always got someone to drill the hold for me. I have been following your updates this summer about things changing and not being the best and was concerned that you/someone close was seriously ill. I think I've worked it out now. Your star is a great statement and shall always be a reminder that yes you can. Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteLove it! Suits the room perfectly! Well done on the drill handling too. Can I call you round to mine for a DIY party yet!?
ReplyDeleteIt looks brilliant and go you for doing the drilling. I tried to drill into our render to fit an extractor fan (no I wasn't actually fitting it just having a go with the drill) and the force of the drill nearly through my off the ladder and all I did was not even manage to chip the render ;-)The quilt is beautiful and show's you have stars in the form of friends looking out for you during this difficult time. xx
