A Work in Progress

Scroll down, I've been working on it!

It is soooo hard to sew at this time of year. As nice as my new sewing room is, it is still in the basement and I can't see outside. But I have to be diligent and get this thing done for fall. So here is where it is at. It doesn't look like much, and there is not that much to do, theoretically. It is for my Quilt in a Day project. So I thought if I posted it, maybe that would spur me on to work on it. Even if the garden does need to be weeded...







As you can see, it is no small task.

Ok, ok - it took a few days but I finally made it downstairs and spent some time quilting. Not a lot, but then, I don't need to do a lot. I didn't add up the time I spend sewing the blocks yet, because the phone kept ringing and I couldn't get a decent chunk of time in. Sewing is one thing you can't do while you are on the phone. Ironing yes, sewing no.

So I worked for a bit, seems to me it was about an hour and made these blocks. Then about 40 minutes later I had them sewn into strips. Then I had to quit because it was so flipping cold in the basement I had to come upstairs and warm up. Besides, it was time to think about making supper. View the completed top here.

So it was a good day. Less than 2 hours on the quilt, and I still managed to get a ton of weeding done. There is always weeding to do. Always. Well, except when there is snow on the ground...
