Stalled...
Oh nothing major. Just an ordinary pause for the most part. I have this small quilt- 44" square. I just don't know how I want to quilt it. I see something in my head but I'm not sure I can do it. And there's nothing worse in the quilting world than picking out quilting stitches. (Except that one time I made 750 flying geese squares only to find out they were too big. I can tell ya, I have made very few flying geese since.) This quilt is small enough that I should be able to get it done in a day, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen. I prefer to quilt in the morning and so maybe tomorrow I will think of something. Maybe I'll dream of what to do and be ready to hop to it at first light. It's supposed to snow and I love quilting when it's snowing out. I have high hopes.
Oh, I found the missing quilt! I was looking for a batting scrap for this quilt and in the bottom of that tub was the quilt. Why? I can't reason it out. But there it was. I am so thrilled that I didn't just quilt it and give it away- which is actually what I plan on doing with it, but I also want to have some memory of doing it!
My Mom bought me 5 battings. How exciting is that? I was out and now I can pick production back up. Two of them are king sized. I have a large quilt I made for Eva that will work perfectly with it. She bought all bleached battings and I usually buy the natural. But Eva's quilt is white so that's perfect. Now for backings...
I was thrilled to read that you have found the missing quilt. Strangely I found a quilt yesterday that I had started several years ago prior to moving. It is now on y to do list to get it finished.
