Got To Crow
Morning all, I just have to brag a little bit. I have been barely quilting because I've been so overwhelmed with projects. Yesterday I finally took myself in hand and started clearing off the table. Hemmed two pairs of jeans first. Why two? Because someone needs to go on a diet and her usual ones are feeling a little snug. The diet starts this week too.
Next I took the three projects I'd started from a guild class and finished the original quilt, which needed binding machine sewed on. Worked on hand sewing last night and it's almost done. Then I used up all the leftover blocks and scraps and finished the two charity quilts (crib size). These were works in process, but needed sashing, borders etc. I'm longarming them today.
The whole pile is significantly reduced. Whew! Next on the agenda is a table topper (think quilted fit to size table cloth) for my sister's motor home. Individual placemats are awkward, esp when you need to add a hotpot square too. Pattern and fabric is all ready to go. I'm going to add elastic strips on four corners like you find on bottom sheet so it stays in place. Hope this works like we envision it.
I can't believe how just getting those easy little projects out of the way brightened my mood. Off to sew. Yeah!
