I know some people don't think you should quilt on Sundays, being a day of rest.......I love quiliting on Sundays

I finished this Stashbuster quilt top yesterday (Sunday LOL) It's all batiks but I have to get out for border fabric. A nice blue for a 1 1/2 inch border and then a deep brown for a 3 inch outer border. I'm calling it Land and Sea because of the colors.

Patty....I totally relate to this old wives tale. Growing up, my mother wouldn't let me sew on Sunday because it was a day of rest. She had no problem with making me do housework, cooking, or cleaning. I think it had something to do with her being superstitous...bad luck and all to sew on Sunday. By golly now I do what I want to do and if the Spirits aren't happy...sew what?
By the way, that's a beautiful quilt...bet you couldn't have done a better job on it any other day of the week. lol.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I only quilt on Sundays AFTER watching Coronation Street.

LOL

Hi Patti,
Your quilt is so pretty. I just love the colors that you have put together. I can't wait to see it when you have your borders on. Thank you for sharing with all of us!! :D

I love,love that top and the name goes just find for it so when do i come and pick it up lol after you finsh it or before

I find Sundays are a great day to quilt. I watch football and I get so much done during the course of a 3 hour game. Funny, I wouldn't have considered quilting to be "work" so I would not have included it with the 'day of rest.' To me quilting is relaxing and a great creative outlet. Without it, I think I would go a bit loony! :lol:

That's really pretty. It sure sparkles!

Oh i forgot to ask what size square is this ? i would like to try one of these Thanks inadvance

Patty, this is absolutely beautiful. I love it!

Fantastic. :D

My mother always said that if you sew on Sunday you'll have to pick it all out with your nose in heaven! (if I get there!). But I find that sewing is relaxing and so I like to relax on Sunday. YOur land and sea is sure nice.

PRETTY!!!!!!!!

To those who think you shouldn't sew on Sunday - WHATEVER!!!

Those of us who work spend all day Saturday cleaning, cooking, doing laundry and errands just so we CAN sew on Sunday!!!

If it is creative, relaxing and makes you happy, do it any time you like!

Love the quilt! I need a small batik collection like that, but I don't know where I'd put them!

Patty, I was amazed to read you watch Coronation street, what story line are you up to ?
My mother in law would never knit on a Sunday , she could be bored witless but would not pick up the needles.
Your quilt is lovely, beautiful colours

The debate has raged for a few thousand years over what does and does not constitute "work". According to some, the essence can be found in "G-d created the world in 6 days and on the seventh day, He rested." The follow-on reasoning is that any action that can lead to the creation of something constitutes "work", from which we should rest on the Sabbath (seventh day). ooooooooooook. here's my favorite loophole.

all the supplies and equiment we use were made and purchased on one of the other days. therefore, the question can legitimately be asked: when we work on a quilt, are we "creating"? or are we merely rearranging bits and pieces of which have already been created?

things that make you go "hmmmmmmmmmmmmm" .... :lol:

Beautiful quilt! I love to quilt on Sunday! It is my rest! :?

Never heard that superstition before, but it sure didn't make a bit of difference in your quilt. It's beautiful. Can't wait to see it with the borders. Did you create the pattern yourself or was it one I could find somewhere? Thanks.

As I was growing up, I always heard "Sew on Sunday, get a whipping on Monday" lol Apparently it didn't get through to me because I love to quilt on Sunday. And you're quilt is lovely.

Maxies2: We are sooooo far behind the UK in coronation street episodes. We are at when David is sentenced to 4 months for pushing gail down the stairs.

Redquilter: The site is Stash Pot Pie (I don't have the exact site name, but if you google it the site comes up). It's a Quilt of a Month club that my local quilt shop is running. I believe that you can also register for it online. The name of this particular quilt is called "Pie Chart" (quilt number 3). This club is supposed to help you use up your stash. So far I think I've bought more for these quilts (borders, batting and backing) than used up! I love it though. My favorite quilts are scrappy ones.

Thanks for all the compliments!

OH. So pretty. I love batiks. Keep sewing on Sunday.

I do love technicalities! LOL

I work my butt off all week, if I managed to not work Sunday I am DEFINITELY quilting and that's all there is to it!

Very pretty!! Love the colors.

Patty--your quilt is so peaceful and serene to look at. I really like the colors you used in it. Very pretty.

Great colors in your quilt! Can't wait to see it quilted!

When you have an outside job, Sunday is half your weekend--and the first half is usually spent doing laundry & housework. So if you're going to do any quilting, that leaves Sunday to do it!

Nice quilt, great colors! I always quilt on Sundays.

:lol: What a funny mental image! :lol: Now who says we'll have noses in heaven?? :shock:

You are not to work on sunday and like you said you love to quilt. NOT WORK to quilters.
Maybe you should stop cooking on Sunday - BOL see how that goes over. :lol: :lol:

My grandmother refused to clean house or cook on Sundays. She always ordered from Kentucky Fried Chicken, which I thought was rather funny. She refused to cook on Sundays but it seemed she was fine with allowing someone else to do the cooking for her. :lol:

WOW!
Really beautiful.
Can't wait to see
finished.

That is gorgeous! I faintly remember all stores being closed, etc., on Sundays when I was growing up. But no quilting?

Oh my, what a beautiful quilt top. It's an eye catcher.

Very pretty!

I love that! The colours are great, well done!

I remember everything being closed on Sundays when I was little. Except, for some reason, garden centres, which our parents used to drag us around! Then they changed the law years ago and now Sunday is like any other day, but the shops close by 5pm.

What a beautiful quilt. If it wasn't for Sundays, I would hardly get any quilting done. Sundays is my day.

that is a very pretty quilt :D

Beautiful. And I find quilting on Sunday perfect because it is not work.

That quilt is very very pretty!! I love the scrappy with the white! Great job..Sunday or not :wink:

I quilt on Sunday and any other day when I have a free couple of minutes!

oh i love it..... and scrappy to. right up my alley. whats the name of it. i'll have to look for the pattern
