But it's for the children. Here's another block for the guild project.
I am doing some of the things I should too. Like looking up travel apps instead of packing. Oh wait, that might not count.
Must print label next.
There are 37 other things that I should be doing but this morning I pieced the backing for the Lemon Squares quilt. It's made up for random widths of orange and yellow flannel. And by random I mean that I did lots of math on a scrap of paper until I had a big enough back planned. And then I carefully cut and stacked the strips. It seems to have worked out. After I get back from vacation (and the machine has 2 weeks at the spa) I'll come up with a quilting plan.
A little pile of fat quarters from Hawthorne Threads (I think). The line is California Dreamin' by Jenean Morrison and I'm thinking of turning it into a quick baby blanket. The orange on top is my favorite.
I have been doing a little bit of actual sewing but am prepping for a vacation and that requires a lot of reading and panicking. No, I don't have anything to panic about, I just do it anyway.
And yes, I know I haven't posted a few of the pictures but I did take them all on Saturdays and I'm a big fan of filling in my blogs backward. So glad Blogger let's you change the posting dates/times.
Here are three little stacks of Kona solids with a set of Sunkissed (still not opened since I'm not quite sure of a pattern). The scraps on the corner of my desk are for the SDMQG first charity project, a wonky star quilt.
I sew in the house in the "winter" since my converted garage is just a bit chilly. Plus the yellow walls and happy fabric/photo desk help with how much I miss the sun after work. I'm already on the countdown to Daylight Savings Day!
It was a good snack. I cut all the little pieces I needed to finish and actually got this thing off the frame. I'm shocked that it's finally quilted. I think it holds the record for the longest time on the frame since it has been loaded up since 2010. And that's just for the last two thirds. I'm going to take a little break before putting on the binding and starting the grand clipping of the threads on both sides.
I am so very close to being done with this one. The edge of the fabric is on the top bar. But I've run out of little scraps of fabric so I'm half (or three-eigths) thinking about leaving them scattered like this.
We'll see after I have a little snack though.
These are the trimmings from my Lemon Squares quilt (top done this morning). Clearly these must be lemon rinds then.
I've now got 3 tops waiting for me to finish up the twin size Ticker Tape. Only about 30 inches to go on that. I can do it. I can.
