Now, what better motivator to get one in a mood for a warm soft cuddly quilt? And a big pot of stew on the stove.
Yes. We have snow.
And to celebrate (can you sense a tad bit of sarcasm?) I dusted off my sewing machines. I know it's not much, but now they are dusted, blown out and oiled and ready to take that first stitch in oh such a long long time.
I pulled out my bits. The 3/4 strips that have got me frustrated and excited at the same time. I work on them when there isn't anything else that calls me, but I have that urge to sew. I am about half way there with them. I am going to have to do some collecting again soon of these lovelies, but at least I have enough to play for a while. Who knew that it would take a bazillion itty bitty pieces of 3/4 inch wide strips to make back into a lap quilt sized piece of fabric again?? On the other hand, think of it this way, those itty bitty pieces still cost money and with all the ones I have put back together they could maybe measure out to be about 1.5 meters already!
**I dont even want to think of the amount of thread I have consumed already! Not top grade thread, but not cheapo either**
I really wanted to say thanks to all of you for your ideas and your wonderful words and for .....well for just being who you all are! I read daily, sometimes often during the day, and you never fail to give me ideas, emotions and that little bit more of motivation each day.
~KK in BC~ off to sweep off the snowy steps yet again... It's too early for this stuff!! waaaa
