This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Ruh Roh!
The immortal words of Astro from the Jetsons..ruh roh! I came up to grab a project to bring back down to work on downstairs while sitting with Patrick. Simple enough task. But then I started thinking about my "Gotta Make it NOW" project that I came up with before bed the other night. I do NOT want to start it until I get a few more finishes under my belt, but I decided I could at least pull some of the scraps for it..light yellows, light pinks and browns. (Ohhh...how easily we can let ourselves be deceived..just pull the scraps..yeah..RIGHT!). Then while I was digging through my big box of scraps waiting to get cut down to size, I thought, "why not pull some scraps just in case I decide to do Bonnie Hunter's new mystery? I am digging through the pile, anywho..might as well! (Deception #2 so far..I PROMISED myself I would not consider this now since I have too much going on!)So, now I have a box filling up for my project, 2 boxes filling up for the mystery and I need one more box for strings. What?? No more empty boxes in my sewing room! This is where the big ruh roh comes in. I have boxes...LOTS of boxes for my projects. And they are all filled. Yes, I COULD go down and get another box, but I won't. I can't. I have GOT to empty some of the boxes already here of their projects to claim the box again. This is now at crisis stage with the projects. I think I need an intervention.

I am in the same delima. Should I do the mystery? Can I do it and everything else? What to do first? If I do the mystery, what colors should I use? Too many projects, too little time. I am with you sista!!
ReplyDeleteLOL.
ReplyDeleteYou notice none of us are intervening? We have all been there - or ARE there!!! Good luck with that!
ReplyDeleteI Finished the baby quilt I started at retreat. Doesn't that sound nice. LOL Work on what is in front of you. While you do that, I will work on a table runner for my daughter who called today and said can you do it & bring with you for T/giving dinner?! It needs to be 130" long & 2 ' wide to fit my new table, BTW thanks mom. Sure I had nothing else to do this week. SandraJ
