Unfortunately, there is no real pattern to my life. As soon as I get into a regular routine, something happens to shake things up a bit. Maybe that is the pattern, hmmmm. Must think on that one.
I haven't been working on my quilt much, we have had some yucky weather and it seemed like perfect napping time. Also, my sewing machine has such a narrow throat, the straight line quilting I am doing on it is HARD! Not my favorite part, think I like the piecing better. I have so many other projects going, I think that I am afraid that if I start another quilt top, the current one won't ever be finished. I promise ... pictures will come soon.
The projects I have lined up are:
1. Quilt top for my darling daughter, aka Monkey. This is one that she designed and chose the fabrics for. Did I mention she is 6?
2. Quilt for a FABULOUS cause, Quilty Hugs for Chemo. This is one that I am doing with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. (When I learn how to do links, I will link her here. I was able to bring her logo over ... see top right!) Still working on exactly what I want to do, but I think it will be a three fabric quilt, on the girly side of things. Definitely doing it in flannel. Needs to be soft and cuddly :o)
3. A quilt for my oldest grandson (5). I crocheted a blanket for his baby sister (6 months) which I gave her for Christmas. I have also crocheted a blanket for his little brother (3), but I didn't give it to him yet because I didn't want the oldest to feel left out. His quilt needs to be done soon!
4. This is a wish quilt ... I really want to make it, but I am not sure I have the talent. The registrar at my daughter's school passed away this week after a two year battle with cancer. A friend and I would love to get some of her clothes and make quilts for her three children so that they could always have Mom there to hug on them. I just don't know that I have the talent for this. Still thinking about it.
Anyway ... I think it is time to start scheduling my quilting time. Otherwise nothing will be completed!
Thanks for reading :o)
