My current three projects are progressing and nothing has been
cast aside so here I am starting a fourth.
Three has always been my limit but do BOMs and QALs
actually count?
While the QAL project has been fun for working with my fall fabrics,
I still haven't touched any of my Halloween stash.
And fall is just a week away.
Star Patch Quilt Tutorial-- Missouri Star
Jenny's latest tutorial came across my feed a couple days ago
and the lightbulb went on.
So out came the stash and I cut my own "jelly roll"--
but with fewer fabrics and a little less "rhyme".
Like most of my quilts these days, it's going to
be a little on the scrappy side.
Plans for this one?
No idea!
Today I sewed up the strips and cut sections for the
four-squares--not too bad for Day One.
But I have no idea when Day Two will be.
I'm not admitting how long it has been since my poor machine
has been in for a tune-up. I've talked about it for a long time but
really, when is there a good time to be without it?
You understand, I know.
But tomorrow is the chosen day so off it goes,
The turn-around, I was told, is "just 2-3 days." Dare I hope?
The days ahead will keep me too busy to sew.
I hope to have awesome news but it's still not official so I'll wait,
and just take lots of pics.
Anyhoo, if next Monday finds me still without my sewing machine,
I have a quilt ready for the long arm and that should tide
me over for another couple days. After that I might actually
have to start some fall cleaning. There are worse things...
except that I do have 4 projects going and I did give my word
to keep working on them!
This UFO has been on hold for months till a backing came along.
That collection of colors still isn't my fav but it turns out
that a cheery little yellow border upped my opinion of it just a bit.
I just found the backing at a great price and it's all pieced and ready.
My plan is to donate it to a church bazaar this fall or one in February.
Till next time,
happy quilting!
