I started this one less than a year ago and I have it ready to be quilted! Prep and started at home but the majority was done at retreat in November. Check this out..I'm lovin it. I sandwiched it yesterday when I had a day off work for MLK day. I hope I can start to sew one evening this week.
My regular machine is over due for maintenance and is off getting a full spa treatment. I have pulled out this old beauty to keep working on one of my scrap busters. Love it!
I would like to get back on track and this will begin with a catch up on a year long project....the progress and finish.....check this out!
We spent a great day in Buffalo NY with Mallory and JoJo. What really grounded, cool girls. Mallory works like crazy at a doggie daycare that she started with a couple of other partners and Jojo is an outdoorisy science/biology chick. They are a good balance for each other.
A few pics of stops along the way and our time at the falls
I have made it a mission not to duplicate any fabrics in the diamonds. Can you believe I didn't have just one more 2.5x2.5 square of plum?
My grandmother had the philosophy that errors were reminders that no one is perfect. So here is one more example of my imperfections.
Now I just have a few half diamonds to complete to finish off the sides.
Let's hope I can keep up the momentum. Any suggestions regarding how to quilt?
When does a hobby take over and become a part of you? If I had a hobby of making paper airplanes would they become a way I choose to decorate my home?
Will I tire of this? I own sewing machines and quilts that belonged to and were made by women in previous generations from both sides of my family. I love this and hope people in my family feel the same way in years to come.
