Always looking ahead, that's me. I went digging through my completed quilt tops to see which quilt needed to go in the hoop next and stumbled across my sugar bowl quilt. This quilt (which I call Plain Jane) has been living happily in the drawers with all the other finished quilt tops until this week, when for some reason she demanded to be prettied up a bit.

Strange how that happens. I really thought
this particular quilt was perfectly content as it was. Hmmm... I do wonder if I'm putting off working on other projects that I'm right in the middle of? Oh well. When inspiration strikes, it's best not to ignore it for too long.*wink I promise it won't be overkill.

I'm a list girl so it's pretty easy to see what projects are ready for attention you know. My 'To Do' list is always in a color that jumps out at me and I place it directly to the left of my sewing table. Hello? Don't forget about me!

I am also in the mood of digging out work in progress and get to the next level. It is fun and feels good.
ReplyDeleteWow, you seem to get a lot of quilting done. Do you quilt with cotton thread or pearl cotton, which gives a bigger stitch? In your last photo, the pattern on the left Is one of my favourites. Is it to be your next long term project?
ReplyDeleteI agree that you should always follow your inspiration, no matter what! I have also found that procrastination is a sign that something is not quite right about those projects that I can't seem to get around to. Either with the design, or the method.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see where your inspiration will take you!
I love the sugar bowl block - one of my all time faves. Yours has great sashing too.
ReplyDeleteI'm a list making too.
Hey - is that calico paradise I see on your wall?
