Nothing bad like letting a deer run into my car or nothing like succumbing to my desires and buying a new car......but bad none the less.....I started a new project! OMGosh.....I am a nightmare to anyone with OCD. I can't even count how many projects I have in various stages of completion and prefer not to attempt that task.
But but but, it's a necessary diversion from my cross stitching frustration. I have an excuse (of course I do, we justify our crafting). I signed up for a BOM at the Intrepid Thread back in January. I opened the package for Part One as soon as it arrived. It then it sat on the counter, was moved to the stairs and finally landed my cutting table.... I got an email notice that the second installation the was being shipping and it has arrived. Yikes! I had to start work on Part One because Part Two is here, right? Besides it is a wintertime type project for early evenings and cold weather - more justification, I know.
The fabrics are beautiful and the photo really doesn't show how pretty, the instructions are super great.....so up the stairs I went after dinner. I took a nice cup of coffee and my iPad. I set up the iron and ironing board, pressed the fabric, sharpened my rotary cutter and started cutting the pieces. I listened to some Kenny G, yes, Kenny G. Swaying to the music and I cut the first three series of pieces and before I knew it, it was an hour and a half later. Do I have any business starting a ANOTHER quilt? Not really. Here are the telltale scrapes from truing up the fabric.
These instructions are super great for cutting.
A, B and C cut and labeled with my quilt marking pins.
All these rulers and I am missing the one I need for part three.
Beautiful new project

Wow...I'm impressed at how organized things look!!! Can't wait to see what these fabrics turn into!
ReplyDeleteI am always working on way too many projects at the same time. I try not to let it frustrate me, but embrace the chaos!!! :)
Robin: I am not a quilter but this looks lovely, I like the fabric choices, I am like you, I sometimes let things ride, and then I get behind, I hope you find the ruler you need, there is nothing more frustrating then not being able to find a tool you need to work on a project.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the quilt progress.
Blessings

Fun looking fabrics! I'm still trying to keep up with my BOM's.... going to have to schedule a "crafty retreat" in my home one weekend... just me, a coffee pot and a pizza! lol! No Kenny G... maybe Glenn Miller? ;-)
