What to do???
I leave tomorrow on vacation and to be with my sister during her surgery. All I think about is the fact that I don't have any UFO to take that I can hand quilt! Ugh!!! I should have planned better han this. I know I will go crazy. I know I will feel lost without something to "fiddle" sigh in my hands at night! Do I sound crazy??? My DH thinks I am! Any ideas on something I could do???

Make yoyos and then follow the post that Craftybear did in Links and Resources. There are a lot of good ideas there.
|
Work on some hand embroidery or twilling, then you can incorporate them into a quilt later.
|
cut some hexagons and larger ones for backing and make individual finished hex's. also take batting the size of the main hex's. when you get back, sew them together by hand. done!!!
|
Do you have a quilt that needs the binding hand sewn to the back? Redwork takes very little in supplies just your background square, needles, scissors, perle cotton/embroidery floss, hoop and a pattern to draw on the fabric. A crochet hook, pattern and a massive ball of yarn has kept me sane in many a waiting room.
|
Chicken scratch? You embroider onto checked or plaid material - usually a quilt block pattern and then make the squares into a quilt.
|
Make some hexies...lots of templates on the net. they are small, easy to carry, and will keep you busy F O R E V E R!!
|
No your not crazy. Having something to do will keep you from driving your sister crazy. LOL Whatever you choose to do make sure it's something you can easily put down at any time. Maybe needle turn applique?
|
Maybe a small wholecloth quilt, handquilted. A couple of fat quarters and a bit of batting, small and compact!
|
Applique.... something to embroider.... best wishes for her speedy recovery
