- Borders on QOV (Wendy's)
And that's about the only thing quilt-wise that was! And the ONLY reason the borders are done is because I decided I agreed with Wendy - that I can quilt MORE with the larger inside border and can extend into that space with the black thread! Currently I am thinking of vines and leaves - all twisty and reaching for the center of the quiltlet! Don't know if that will happen or not - but there you have it!
Regarding the HOUSE part of the page - I got involved in re-reading Bonnie Hunter's Leaders and Enders book - and decided to spend "just 15 minutes" sorting quilt scraps by color - this after deciding to start ANOTHER NEW quilt or two (actually two - one from leftover four patches from the first!) Of course this involved diving (headfirst) into my bags and boxes of scraps - and...... well, after spending almost the entire day working on the scraps I felt like I had accomplished a lot!
Wednesday I decided to continue working in the sewing room and sorting - and - gasp!!!! FINISHED sorting ALL of my scraps! Felt so good I celebrated by eating out (instead of eating what I was GOING to eat!) Definitely a monumental job well done! AND I found one of my kitties' new hiding place in the process - LOL!
Thursday I started slicing and dicing - I though - just one bag! So I started on Purples (smallest bag!) Didn't really realize exactly how much was in there!!!! Also mostly just goofed off! No paperwork, no housework - just plain goofed off - and READ! And went to the library!
Also worked on my Taz crazy quilt (crazy quilt because that's what Taz is! LOL) Definitely not done yet - but it will be - and will be (I hope) cute!
Friday I continued on the slicing and dicing end - got halfway done - plus stitched up several string blocks (cute! cute! cute!) and some of the 4 patches. Decided I needed to go to the quilt shop - but by then it was after hours so the shop was safe for another day!
Saturday Called Wendy - who is back into writing strongly again (Yay!!!!! She is VERY talented and I love to read her works! And - like me - she has been a bit burned out on the quilting end of things so has been devoting her many talents to other pursuits as well!)
Then I went to the - uh - quilt shop where I bought some red that I just HAD to have for the QOV (never mind that I said I wouldn't need it the previous time I was there!) and saw some really cute QOV type fabric for the outside border which I also bought (quilt not supposed to need borders - but one was necessary for it to be the minimum size needed - this quilt will now have TWO!)
Maureen (sales lady and friend) rang up the sale for $11.00 - but that was so much less than I had anticipated (uh - here comes the not so rational lie!) that I said I HAD to get the two batiks which had been calling my name for several weeks - and which were growing less and less! And of course THOSE two needed other FRIEND batiks - and - uh - well, I ended spending $67.53 for 5 3/4 yards - which included the 2 QOV border fabrics (1.0 yards total and yes, I found the red I already had when I got home!) and enough fabric to maybe do at least part if not all of a lap quilt!
Sunday Cleaning and sewing day! Grocery shopping day as well! And - uh - avoiding the whole issue of the Stash report and my - uh - falling off the wagon!
