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!

Never go in to your sewing room at 3 am
Yup..you read that right. Last night I couldn't sleep so wandered into the sewing room. Was too unsettled to work on anything, so I started reorganizing a big. My daughter had bought me the perfect size boxes for my projects for Christmas, so I thought I would move the projects from the ugly boxes to the pretty ones. (Notice how I did NOT just fill up the new boxes with new projects!! I was sooooo good!). Well, one of the boxes had leftover blocks and leftover units from other quilts. In the box, I found these that I had bought at Craft Bits and Pieces for $2:
The colors are so pale the blocks aren't very exciting looking. That's okay..it will work up quick and will make a nice little donation quilt. So, I didn't really pick a project box, but this will be today's project to work on. Will post updates later!

ReplyDeleteI got up at 3 and started sewing! it is dangerous!
ReplyDeleteI was like that two nights ago. But forced myself to sleep at a bit after 3 since the next day, I spent the whole morning waiting for mum's appointment and spent the whole afternoon shopping (for sewing machine needles & bobbins, shelled walnuts, groceries, bottom & top for a birthday girl). What a day that was.
