And here they are in all their cheerful glory!
Orange never fails to cheer me up
Oh well,
I'm only a year and 5 moths late in starting!
This is my latest block so far
It needs more cowbell
Here's the first block I completed
with SRE daisies
and a good starburst seam treatment
The Tumbling Blocks stitch-a-long is still on Sharon Boggins Blog
if you want to partake or just go look
I think This is going to be an ongoing difficulty with this project.
I want to do it, but other things keep getting in the way
I have 20 or so dark blocks made and a few ideas beside the 3 I've done so far.
I may even revisit some older Ideas but no theme has yet revealed itself to me
And if I ramdomize myself too much I may not finish the project at all.
One 6"ish block a month is enough right? I don't have to finish right now, EVEN THOUGH
I started it late. I keep telling myself that, in between the times I wonder why I haven't finished yet.
Now that the studio is, mostly, finished and moved into I can start finishing projects that have been on hold for forever.
I just finished Quilt about 9 of the 14 flimsies I found in random piles some I put aside because they were too big for the space I had and some that got lost in the constant shuffle.
I also picked up 10 charity quilts for the guild I belong to, we have such a backlog of quilts that need quilting
and as I was nominated and voted in as secretary, I feel honor bound to get as much done there as I can.
I also have my own projects here and there that I want to do, It's hard to keep myself tethered.
Flights of fancy are all well and good, but there is a limit to what one can accomplish on your own.
As my DDH tells me all this pressure is self inflicted......
These are the 6' stars
After moving into the studio and (stILL)trying to organize my space
I haven't figured out a good way of storing my fabric yardage
backs have a space and fat quarters have a space
but other than pilling the yardage on shelves I've got nothin'
and it maybe, that is the answer,
it feels unsatisfying.
and the 4' squares
Nothing is getting done.
I'm moving in and everything is on hold until I find that thing I need in a box somewhere...
the disorganization is making me itchy.
to where I think it will fit my needs best.
Now it's just a matter of finding a home for all of it
Then consolidating what had been in use and in storage.
Then I can start organizing by color/size/etc.
Though, between all this
I am trying to figure out how to use Beastie, the Innova long arm.
It's a learning curve, that's getting curvier.
As of today I have emptied 18 bankers boxes!
Woo!
