I am seriously laying in bed while I type this, ha ha! Seeing as how it is almost 9:30pm here in the Midwest and I still have to work tomorrow. Boo! But then I have time off for Thanksgiving and I am super excited!
Sorry I wasn't able to have a quick, fun project to blog about today. I had to work. Boo again!
After I got home from work though I was able to accomplish a few things. I finished sewing rows together for a baby quilt, now it just needs borders, a back, to be quilted and binding! So...still a lot of work to do.
I also cut binding to go on one quilt and started making binding for another.
And this morning before work I was able to take a few minutes to fix a few towels for my mom. The hem just came out, no big deal!
I am definitely ready to make something for me. I thought about it and since I have started making quilts in 2007 (when I was a senior in high school LOL!) I have only ever made one quilt for myself. My mom said that it is the holidays and I should make something for myself. Except I have to finish my projects for other people! Ha. It's okay though because I still enjoy the work.
Thoughts to leave you with:
1.) I have a "rule" (I'm not sure it's a rule really, but it's....something I follow? but not quite something to be considered a philosophy? You know what I'm sayin'.....I know you do....) that I follow, which is: I do not post pictures of something if it is to be given as a gift. I never know who is looking at my blog (hopefully everyone!!) so I don't want any surprises ruined. Growing up I was all about surprises, and I don't get very many any more as I get older (which is sad because truthfully I'm not that old!). So I don't want to ruin anyone else's surprise, especially if they love surprises as much as me!
2.) I'm not sure where I saw this so I'm sorry for not giving credit to who deserves it but...
it was something like "There are no mistakes in quilting, they're just design opportunities!"
Love that.
Goodnight all!
Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!
