Old projects

Well, I've decided to complete some projects that I set aside to work on other things.  Yesterday i grabbed some washable markers to use to stencil the pattern on, if it works. This is a good idea, it is so clear on the fabric. I started the quilting yesterday and got 1/8th of my little project done! I also spent time organizing my fabric scraps.  It is an interesting assortment.  I am picturing a scrap quilt in my not so distant future!

Pictures??

Trying to post with pictures off a mobile app, 4th try!  Well, got one to work, but still a novice at this! My google drive photos wont upload, hmmmm

Day one of blogging

And so it starts!  I begin blogging!  I thought with all the quilting I'm itching to do, it might be fun to post things for people to see.  I am by no means an expert quilter, but it keeps me entertained.  I have found that it is very calming for me to hand stitch the pieces, sort of my own version of therapy.

After I finished piecing my latest work, (pictures to come later if I can figure that out) I decided to clean up my fabric scraps and even finish piecing a project that got set aside for some baby quilts.  So now I have three projects needing to be quilted.  I think I'll go smallest to biggest to get these done, so pillow, baby blanket, queen size quilt.  I have to promise myself not to start any more projects until all three of these are done.

I am going to look into getting a standing quilt frame, I found one online that I think will work for what I want, and should fold enough to get out of the way in our full house, so time to schmooze the husband for an early birthday present!
