greetings and thank you (plus ... thoughts)
Hello, everyone. I've been lurking around these parts for a while now and want to say thanks for all the ideas and info I've gathered. Hopefully, I'll be putting it to better use this year than in previous years, when I did very little or no sewing and quilt work. I've been re-assessing some UFOs and planning some new projects with a goal of making some quilts for family and friends ... and my ruminations have led to a few, er, realizations? truths that are self-evident? mottoes for 2021? Not sure, but these are the thoughts that have been running through my head:
Hey ... these nine-patches really aren't as wonky as I remember.
That one fabric I hated is ... really kinda perfect. I think I *do* like these blocks.
Batting. I need batting.
Go slow. No, slower. SLOW DOWN! *sigh* You'll sew better when you sew more. Not faster.
I can't even think about backing fabric right now. I have to buy batting.
Darn, if I had a nickle for every nickle I've spent on fabric. (Yeah, I'd probably just have more fabric.)
Muslin! I have muslin!
Happy quiltmaking, y'all.
