Sometimes I just plain forget how much 'work' some quilts require. I am totally cracking myself up with my complete and total inability to focus of this quilt at this particular phase. After I get one (yes, that would be ONE) row sewn together, I'm immediately looking around for something else to do for awhile.

| A couple rows sewn & the mending |
So far I'm catching up on my mending pile with unprecedented speed. So silly. Apparently I'd rather put new buttons on an old favorite of a sweater than push through and finish a great quilt top.

| My new Levi skirt that would have fit 2 yrs. ago |
I even attacked a couple pairs of old Levi's and made myself a long denim skirt, something I've wanted to attempt for years now. Up-cycling is so cool now. The only problem is, I've uh, gained a bit of weight since these jeans have been put to good use. So much for that distraction! lol
Mending is something I do not like to do. And shortening pants is another. I am short so I have to do that with every pair of pants I purchase.
ReplyDeleteOne row at a time will get it done! And finished is finished...whether it fits or not! You had me laughing because it is so exactly like something I would do. The rows are gorgeous, btw.
ReplyDeleteWell, they say slow and steady wins the race. And maybe tackling a bit at a time is the way to keep your attention on the job at hand and then there is less chance of mistakes happening.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when you are zooming along on the machine, then have a close look only to find that the blocks are around the wrong way....such a waste of time & energy!
PS. also meant to say your rows are looking great.
ReplyDeleteAnd have you seen the photos of the exhibition at 'Quilts in the Barn'? I went and drooled over the many beautiful quilts, and of course now I want to make a traditional red & white quilt!
