lestamore is going for a walk
So I have a quilt top that is almost all done. I am not sure what I want to do for the back. I also kindof want to come up with a pattern so that when I have scraps, I can just cut them out without having to come up with a full pattern. Maybe pinwheel or double pinwheel blocks?
I do have at least 1 or 2 projects I want to do before I get back to work on this, because it is a pretty involved and long term. I guess those 2 projects are my 1st priority.
1 is finishing the seams of my new garb
and 2 is making a jacket that will hopefully keep ma war and will be based on my own pattern.
i have soooo much fabric i need to create something with it!!
checked out four books on quilting at the the library yesterday and i think i will start on my design later this week c:
HeresToYou is expendable.
it was taking to long and im too antsy of a person, so i turned it into a semi-obnoxious beach-looking bag. but…i can dig it…so it’s worth it.
i made somethign with my hands…so im considering this job done.
well i’ve finally started on my first quilt because my sister is having a baby. i’d like to have it finished in three weeks in time for her baby shower, we’ll see if i can do it!
HeresToYou is expendable.
BUT I am making a blanket out of tied up pieces of fabric, and i’m about 1/3 done as of today.
I just don’t have the patience for a needle and thread.
and I have a ton of options. I want to make so many – I should make more so I can make them and complete this goal and have some fun doing it and can show off my skills at quilt meeting and and and
Actually, I’d like to make two. One for each guest room. Better talk to Beki!
Shayleah is reviewing and revising her list...thanks LB for inspiring me! xo
I still want to do this but it’s not a priority at this time.
