I'm not sure what I was thinking! At the house I always had two machines set up - one for quilting and one for piecing, that way I could do either! For some reason when I moved to the townhouse I suddenly got stubborn.....(okay, not so suddenly but still!?!) and decided I had to finish one project at a time....
Look what I've accomplished since I set Sonja up again! Saturday night I started this absolutely adorable Winnie The Pooh baby quilt - my pattern, soon to be a kit at the store! I got the 4 patches done and the pinwheels, then I sewed the 4 patch row to the two borders, then I went to sew the pinwheel row to the border and found it was too long - RTFP (read the F------ Pattern) I had forgotten (didn't read my own pattern!) to square off the half square triangles to the size in the pattern.....
So I spent about 45 minutes searching the house for a seam ripper - not one in the house! No where to be found.....I own a quilt store for heaven sakes, you would think I would have at least ONE seam ripper (in every room of the house!)! I had to use my small scissor to take out the blocks and resize them! At that point I decided to pack it in and finish the borders at the store on Sunday - which I did!
When I got home I prepared my Sweet and Sour Meatballs for Monday`s lunch and while it was cooking I started my next project!
We got a book in a few weeks ago - Scrap Basket Sensations! and I grabbed one (I need to order a bunch more because we`re sold out already).... I had picked up a Bali Pop at Quilter`s Palette during the first days of their closing sale and I found the perfect project in the book - here`s the beginning of Island Chain.....
I just can`t believe how much I`ve accomplished since I set up the two machines.....so I guess my theory was not so good! There`s just so much discipline I can take!
Okay - off to get something done!
Have a great day everyone!
