I did it! It took a while, but I did some work on my crazy quilt today, and I got the embroidery done, and now this weekend I can quilt it! I’m so excited! I think I might add a few buttons first! What do you guys and gals think I should add to it to make it even crazier!?
An Exerciser In Creativity for everyone to do! I think sometimes I take quilting a little too seriously and I need a break from the creativity of it, and things like this help to re-align my focus.
Here are my answers: Continue reading
I’m working on a non-quilting project! I think it is so cute I can barely wait to finish! I have no pictures yet, but once I start sewing I’ll post some! Promise! Until then, you can stare at the pattern picture! It’s just lovely!
Just a reminder, my Birthday sale for my Etsy shop is still going on! That’s 20% off quilts and patterns!
Here are some shenanigans to get us all through the week!
I was slaving over this hot mess of fabric all Sunday! Okay, well about 2 hours on Sunday, and I’m all ready to cut it into panels and then add the embroidery! I cannot wait to take this modern crazy quilt from cool to awesome! It is going to be just fabulous! Now I just have to pick a type of embroidery to do, and I can run with it!
I have to thank everyone over at Quilt In A Day for this ruler! I just love it! I think this is one of the funnest looking quilts I have ever made! I actually decided that I’m going to give this as a baby blanket to one of my dearest friends for her new baby! His name is Ivan and I hope he loves it! I cannot wait to finish it and send it off in the mail. It may be a little too warm for the next few months for him to use it, but I know once fall comes, he’ll use it quite a bit! Now to pin it and quilt it! Wish me luck!
Sometimes I feel like I’m hiding. from the world with my nose at my sewing machine. Part of me thinks I’m avoiding the debauchery that has plagued the rest of the world. You know, hiding from Miley Cyrus, and crappy reality shows, like Real housewives, and Duck Dynasty, and avoiding bars, and drunk people. Although, sometimes I feel like I’m missing out on humanity. I mean, a lot of my friends hang out at bars, and I’m loaded full of antidepressants, so I can;t drink, and being the only sober person in the room is never fun! Drunk people may think they are funny, but trust me, they are not. So I stay at home and sew. I sew, and I stay away from the rest of the world, but sometimes I feel like I am missing out. Most people my age are running around taking selfies while drunk, or taking selfies with their babies. Continue reading
I cut more strips into it, and rearranged them. I only ave to do that about 3 more times and then I can add the embroideries, and then call it a day and quilt this darn thing! I love crazy quilts, but they just take up so much time! And Thread!
I’m having such a fun birthday! Work was a blast, and I have the coolest supervisor ever! And now I’m going to skype with one of my dearest friends, and then I get to work on this qonky quilt! Hopefully I’ll finish the top by tonight, so I can show it off at work tomorrow!
