'Member when I was working on the Quilt-Along with Amy at Amy's Creative Side this last summer? If not, you can quickly scroll down the page at the left to refresh your memory....
At the time I started, I found myself at a point (very seldom) where we have finished several items (or goals) at once and are casting around looking for something else to do.
I decided this quilt-along was a good thing, so why not double the fun? I was
All this background laid so that I can tell you one simple thing......
I finished ONE of the two blocks in Quilt A. Yea! Hurray!
I am ready to work on the second block, but Christmas, etc, keeps getting in the way. Just a couple of days alone with nothing else to do and I could get the top finished....
But then my grandkids wouldn't get their Christmas box before Christmas, and my DH wouldn't have dinner a couple of times (hurts especially since we just spent a wad for groceries!), and I wouldn't get a batch of plum jam made (plum makings in the freezer since the first of the summer).
Now to the other trip down memory lane....or lack of memory.
I mentioned in making DHs Crazy Quilt that I had some muslin for the backing of the blocks, but would need to buy more (which I did,,,,about $40 or $50 worth!).
Weeeellllllllll,,,,,, I was rummaging around for fabric for my Giveaway (see last post).........and looked in a plastic container, which happened to be.....on the floor behind me next to my table where I work......yep....
There is a LOT there! It's in a 'wad" because it was the remainder of a bolt I bought a long time ago. I groan every time I think of what that $40 or $50 could have bought!
Do you see why I need to continue working on my sewing room????
So now it looks like this......
Still stuffed, but at least in it's own apartment.....with label (index card).
No telling how much I am going to save next year as I continue to work on my stash!
