So, last week I read that you should blog consistently and that when you have an idea, go ahead and enter the information in a draft. That is what I have done with this post. (the original post begins at the **) Then yesterday there was a bump in the old proverbial road. I was so proud of myself for my accomplishments since I rolled the dice last week. After finishing the binding and label on the retreat girls I started piecing the back for Fish Tails. Making really good progress and I have a plan. I am using all of the leftover fabric on the back. While I was turning the sewing room off for the day, I looked up at the flimsy on the design wall thinking how am I going to quilt it? When BAM!!! It hit me. Right in the face (see picture). Do you see it? Normally I would just leave it, but this time I just can't!! I want to put it back in tub #4 and wait for its time to come back up. UGH!!
** I have felt that I have accomplished nothing while working on so many projects all the time. Last week, I decided to start rolling the dice again.
I have a few obligations, like the Summer Moon QAL that our guild is doing. I suggested this pattern, so I am making the sample blocks each month. I started to make a scrappy one along with everyone else but have since scrapped that. And then our Thursday group is making a By Annie bag and for some reason I am "leading" that one too.
So Thursday when I returned from stitching, I rolled the dice. #4. That tub had a kit that was purchased at Hancock's of Paducah during quilt week in 2022. It's called Fish Tails. Some of the blocks were partially done and as of Monday, the flimsy is complete and the binding is ready.
And I put the binding and label on the quilt retreat girls. Posted about here and here. A sneak peek at the label. I will post a picture of the completed quilt after I reveal it to the participants of the retreat. This block is mine.
My goal was to get this done by our November meeting which is on the 14th. But we are planning a trip to visit with our son and his family from the 6th through the 12th. Then I have some medical tests on the 13th. Goal has been reached.
And I will leave you with the beauty in my own back yard.
I wish my camera gave them justice. And I guess fall is my favorite time of the year because the next picture is one of my favorite scenes.
I love to see the leaves on the ground and we have watched the leaves fall.
Until next time,
Wishing you more stitching time than I will have.
