Describe your Favorite Quilty Day
How would you describe your favorite quilty day??
Is your favorite a day when you focus on one project, making massive progress on piecing, or quilting, or even finishing??
Is your favorite a day with quilt activities shared with friends??? Going to a guild meeting, a quilt show, your LQS???
Or is your favorite a day when you wear your sweatpants and socks all day, and work a bit on this, a bit on that, jumping from one project to another when the spirit moves you to work with bold colors, or to machine quilt, or to press and cut?
Well, I had one of those last ones today - a bit of this, a bit of that... I machine quilted this little 'I Spy" quilt - it's got "boy" things on it, so hopefully will serve the deficit of boy quilts - still needs binding now. It will be a charity quilt, not sure to whom yet.
Mostly I worked on this scrappy pineapple - with little paper pieced 5 inch squares - oh my I love making these squares... I just love having only tiny, tiny pieces left over to go into the trash... and this is just gonna be gorgeous. Pattern from Bonnie Hunter - "Pineapple Crazy".
And kittens played all day - they have a routine now - breakfast, then play til noon - romping, fighting, running at breakneck speeds... then at noon they sleep for five hours, followed by dinner, and more sleep . Then at the stroke of Eleven PM, they go nuts again - just when we want to sleep!!!! oh well, I love them too much to be annoyed. That's my Orca Bay quilt they are playing on - I am still quilting on it!!!One day it will be finished... lots of ditch work there.
Well, it was a great day - and there is still tonight to make hexagons and attach to the hexagon quilt, which I have set a completion date for - May .... yippee -- (top only)... hard to believe the top might be finished!!!
Well, pardon me for rambling on and on... Happy MLK and Inauguration Day to you tomorrow!!
