it feels GOOD to be back quilting!!! I wrapped up Step 5 this afternoon as hoped, and have the blocks lying out on the carpet downstairs......
I didn't feel like starting to sew the rows together yet, so I decided to put the corner pieces onto my Scrappy Baskets Leaders-Enders project. I have 10 blocks done, with 6 more to go (or more....who knows?) I need to sift through the stash to see what "gawdy" fabric I can use for the sashing. I really want to burn up something I would never dream to use in a quilt. Believe me, Grandma handed me quite a bit of fabric that I'm sure will fit that bill :0)
As I was walking up the stairs, I snapped a pic of my "carpet area" downstairs where, as you can see, I have three different projects in progress. It is nice having the room, even though it's not a finished area. As always, I hope all of you are enjoying your quilting time; family time; and summer time. It feels so good to be sewing again; no stress; no time commitments; and just being able to enjoy......
Glad the stresses of life have eased a bit for you, and you are able to get back to your 'life'. I know that teaching is a big part of your life too, but I'm glad you're getting a break from it. Your OC looks really good, and the little baskets are very cute. I couldn't get a good look at the 3rd project. It is great to have that nice big carpeted area to lay things out, like a giant design floor with a scenic overlook.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a lot done. It's great that you have an area where you can lay everything out and let it live out in the open without guilt. My big open floor space is right in front of the entryway and is the first thing you see when you walk in the house. I use still use it to lay everything out, but I feel guilty and have to periodically pick everything up.
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot to say, the scrappy baskets are looking great. I can't wait to see what you pull out for the sashing! And wow is that OC bright!
