After spending lots of time finishing up 8 quilts to the point of ready to quilt I finally dove into that step today. I managed to get 2 quilted- one is a disaster quilt that’s been sitting around for about 5 years I do not like it, but it is finally quilted. I’m just going to fold the backing over the front, machine stitch it down and drop it off at a resale shop- ready for it to be done & gone.
the second one I love and am happy to have it finished. I’m going to try to get 2 more done this weekend and maybe a third one loaded, ready- the 2 I did today were both about 60”, I think the next 3 are a little bigger- 72” or so- then I will be to the queens-
I decided to start with the smallest and work my way up ( instant gratification is motivational sometimes)
after I finish these 8 I have 6 UFOs left that just need either a few more blocks or borders- I just might manage to get them all done this year. I managed to clean and organize my sewing room ( with help- a day with my sister) I actually took 9 large garbage bags of scraps and fabrics that just had to go away out- gave to a couple church groups who make quilts for the homeless and shelters and a couple bags went to friends who make things not quilt related. My room is nice a neat, I can see what I have- not overwhelming any more so getting things done.
I am ( finally, after 10 months) going back to work on Monday- part time. I always seem more creative and motivated when I’m working.
I hope everyone is getting through our crazy times with many more smiles than frowns
