The wind was blowing. Every time I'd get it all flat and move back to take a picture, the quilt would billow up. Oh, well, this will give an idea of the progress made.
I went to a quilting retreat last weekend and had the best time with Darlene and Nancy and others. The retreat was put on by Stars & Scraps, and they always do such wonderful retreats. I got there late on Friday, so I was behind from the start. I also want to work on that one, but packing takes precedent now! It was a mystery retreat, and our cutting instructions called for 10" squares. So I grabbed a layer cake of three older Minick & Simpson lines, Wiscasset, Bar Harbor and American Banner, and mixed and matched those. I think the quilt will be pretty when it's done. When it's done -- sigh! Another quilt for the other LA.
However, I think there's still hope for this LA. I was able to snag a kit that Carrie Nelson was offering a couple of weeks ago. Thelma made the quilt and I love it! This one doesn't take up much room, so I might get it out tomorrow and start cutting and stitching. Well, maybe not tomorrow, but soon!
The harder I try, the behinder I get!
I do have a sewing plan for the other LA, and that is to finish what I start! No more excuses for putting something away.
Remind me I said that!!
There's a lot of stuff going on right now and I feel overwhelmed and stressed, but I hope it will all work out soon. I haven't been feeling so well, but that's the hand I've been dealt. I'm just looking forward to the day when I can wake up and walk around the other LA house without dodging boxes and tubs and stuff. Penny does, too!
