This is my first blog post ever. I have no idea how to post pictures or add buttons. I am sure that I will learn as I go. I have not much to say yet but I am sure this blog will be a great diary of all of my quilting adventures.
I am currently working on a mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville Quips and Snips. I am sewing the 600 hst units together into sets of five right not. What a tedious job. I am sure I will have that part finished within the next couple of days. It only took a couple of hours to sew them into twosies. I really like the reverse hole in the barn door blocks but I will have to see how the string blocks look together. I might change the setting once I have that part of step 7 done. I don't think I will make it as big as Bonnie calls for either.
About me. I have been married for 31 years, have a married son, and a dog named Charlie. Charlie has taken over the household and is boss. We need Cesar here to teach us how to be pack leaders.
I have a Gammill Classic longarm machine and quilt for others. I am currently on a sabbatical to catch up on my own work. I was overwhelmed taking in customer quilts and needed a break. I hope to go to MQX in the spring and get excited about quilting again. I am suffering from burnout so that might be the catalist to get me going again.
I am enjoying using up my stash. I have a lot of UFO's and plan to spend this winter finishing the tops and getting my own quilts quilted. In a future blog I will list all of the projects I have on the go and use this as a record of getting them done. I do not want to purchase any more fabric to complete a project and will try my hardest to use only fabric from the stash. I say that now, but I will most likely breakdown and buy sashing fabric. I think I will work hard at making only pieced borders. That should use up alot.
Happy quilting
