I put up on the long arm, for picking & pulling, The log cabin scrap quilt my maternal grandparents made 40 years ago, before my grandad died at 88, .
I need to pull out all the old matted ties, made from that fuzzy poly ribbon we used to put in our hair in the 70's.
Pick out the shredded and patchy bits and sew in new ones, then quilt it as I go along.
This one is fun I can see a clear delineation between my grandmothers fabric style and my mother's. they both used old cloths for the scraps so I recognize a piece of dress here and a square of shirt there. Now I get to add my own layer to it.
It's slow going on this one too but I stand to do it, so if I combine it with skelly
there's a new fancy Jacobean embroidery to outline. It's mUch smaller than the first one I did but that one turned out so well I couldn't resist starting another.
I'm on block 14 of the farmers wife, which I really should try to make one or two a day until that is done, or I will never finish it, and because sOmeone got me the other book It means I will be making a bigger piece than I expected.
4-5 quilts to bind (ungh) I hate binding but I can do it on the other machine which is not being used just now so......yeah.
then there are the 4-5 quilts to samich and long arm, which will give me yet more binding, to let sit around for a couple of years before I get to them.
There is also a luscious pile of fabulous new cotton and linen fabric to make dresses and stuff out of.
But first I must clean off my sewing table because I picked up a nasty leather working hobby, in the meantime and it's full of scraps of leather, tools and rivets. whew!
I am not showing you a picture of that, everywhere else is a simple mess, that table is a disaster!
Now that I've made a list I realize, I have a VERY short attention span!
No wonder it seems like I get nothing done.
