Triangles, squares, and strips. Oh My!!
Spring is in the air and my creative juices are flowing! I finally had a day to myself where I had some extra energy and I honed in on my monochromatic themed project. I have had the material and the plan for this quilt for almost two years now. It is destined for the back of our couch so my sweetie and I have something to snuggle into on a cool night. I may be overextending myself though.....I have a baby quilt to do for a cousin, a quilt to make for my niece in honour of her graduation from fifth grade to middle school, and some very, veeeeeeeery late christmas sock animals. All to be finished before May 19. I do love a challenge!
I think the last sewing project I worked on was this quilt last year. Very good friends of mine welcomed their second child into the world, a beautiful, healthy boy. I was overjoyed to be invited to his baptism, and made him a tummy time quilt to mark the occasion. I chose to alternate the "friendship star" patch with a solid block of old fashioned Pooh material. I don't know what the baby thinks of it, but I love it!
And just so the big sister wouldn't feel left out, I made her a new friend. Every girl needs a sock friend.
I was very happy to finally finish a birthday banner for my dad. I started it last year then was sidetracked by putting on a show, getting surgery etc. and never got it done. I buckled down and had it ready for the day this year. Turned out rather well too.
I think I am going to make Spring Cleaning more of a Spring Finishing this year. I have a very bad habit of moving on to a new project before I have finished the old one. The end result is I have a room full of half finished projects, and I'm starting to feel overwhelmed by it all. So my plan is to make some lists (I do so love lists) prioritizing the unfinished projects and I am going to get them done....I hope. No. I know!!!
