I have recently taken several books off my bookshelf to look for quilt patterns and new projects. Hm, looking at all those quilts was inspiring. I have laid out fabric in several spots (which my hubby calls "horizontal surfaces"- counter, floor and table) to contemplate how they might look in those several inspiring quilt patterns, and I have started piecing some binding and left the strips out unfinished (the goal was so that I could apply the binding to quilts in the To-Do bin). I have a pin cushion out of place. My rotary cutter is on the kitchen table. I have been bad.I have not returned the books and fabric and binding and miscellania to their respective homes. I came home from my corporate job tonight to a messy house! My fault! Ack!
Okay, so this is blog therapy. Just letting the world know I fell off the wagon has been helpful. I am now motivated to put them all back in their places as soon as I'm done posting. :)
It's quiet on the Gypsy Hill front - January and February are the slowest months for many longarm quilters, but I have a gold, silky, embroidered store-bought comforter on my machine for a customer that wants some quilting done. Store-bought comforters are not an easy task when they have been laundered and the poly batting inside has decided to take up residence in the edges in lumpy communities. But it will look great when I'm done with it. That's a priority task for this coming weekend. I'll post a photo when it's done. I also have 3 baby quilts to quilt and 2 Quilts of Valor quilts to finish up.
I am also finishing up a couple of odd sewing projects. I have to remove some elastic from a waistband for a friend's mom who doesn't sew, hem a pair of my own pants, and fix a broken grommet on hubby's motorcycle vest. Like I said, odd projects.
No real photos for this post, as I wait to recharge my batteries for the camera. Actually, I couldn't bear to take a PHOTO of my mess - that would be entirely too embarrassing.
