kinda losted touch
I have been busy lately on non quilting project like a college graduation, building a house and a wedding.Two different daughters.I am ready to get back to quilting. Any one working on a amazing quilt pattern? I need a diversion.

Welcome back! Are you wanting some mindless sewing or something intricate?
|
Welcome e. Mindless would be zippered pouches. Fast and useful.
|
Something intricate would be great.I like patterns that challenge me.I have some beautiful flannel, wonderful colors,prints and a few panels(panels are for quick projects for gifts)I think I need something to take my mind off the empty(emptying) nest. It is really hard for me,but I am still so thankful for all that is right in our life.I know this sound odd but I just need to keep my mind and hands busy and love having beautiful quilts as finished projects.

I just made a zipper pouch for a friend today. Too hot here is a good excuse to sew small projects.
|
I understand the empty nest syndrome very well. it doesn't take long for it to sink in that you have your own time and evenmore of your own space. They are always welcome home, but by Golly, now I have a life
|
Good luck with finding the right project to get you back in the grove of quilting.

Have you made a Hunter's Star quilt? That is an intricate design and there are so many beautiful ways to use color in it. Mine was made with the Accuquilt Go dies - not sure I'd want to cut out that many pieces otherwise !

go to paperpieces.com and they will send you a sam[le kit to get you going. I use fiskers punches for mine with glossy junk mail. have fun. |
