Oh my goodness, Glojean!! Those are just BEEEE-UUU-TI-FUL as my BFF's granddaughter would say. I especially like the heart that looks sort of "crazy-quilt" style - and I'm not really fond of crazy quilts. But yours is just lovely!!
And Krista, I just love the colors in your scrappy quilt!! I'm going to have to try to "capture" your pic, so I can have it for inspiration... when I get done with the UFO's.
I received a Keepsake Quilting catalog in the mail today. And the latest copy of the AQS magazine, along with their catalog.
I was a good girl.
I resisted temptation, and did not order anything.
I should pass them off to hubby to use for starting fires in the fireplace, but....
I am absolutely determined to NOT START ANYTHING NEW.
Well, except for 2 consignment quilts. I have two customers that want two very different types of quilts. So, I can vicariously "buy" for their quilts, which will definitely NOT be UFO's.
Glory is loaded on the frame, and I picked out the panto I want to use, and the threads I want to use. Aurifil - a deep burgundy for the bobbin, as the backing is a brick/burgundy batik, and a neutral beige/brown that I know from experience will blend surprisingly well with the reds and blues, and probably just disappear altogether with the cream on the front.
While I stir up my "want to" to finish Glory (as I've mentioned before, I'm really sick of looking at this thing!!), I'm pondering the UFO's that are left. I have two "animal themed" UFO's. One of them is from the Fat Quarter Shop (I resisted buying from their email today too!), I just need to remember what I was planning to do with the blocks that were not animals. The other is embroidery animals. I will need to dig out the diskette to finish the rest of the animal blocks for that one, as well as the setting pattern. Hmmm, now that I think about it, I could set that up and let it be stitching while I quilt Glory... embroider while doing 1 pass of the panto. How's that for "multi-tasking"?
