Cloudy and Cooler Monday

Tweet

This morning was my monthly quilt guild meeting. I took some sky shots on the drive there. Once there I got out of my van and took this shot. I zoomed in to get the name of our town on our water tower. Guild was good and fun as always. I bumbled through my hand written minutes from last month. Our speaker was Barbara Jo Paquin. She has the company Chloe and Me. You can search it if you would like. Once home I found 2 packages from amazon. One is a double leash that I got in for review. The other package was my Five and Dime ruler. Nothing like a quilt meeting and a new "toy" to motivate me to work. You probably have guessed already---instead of working on a project that is already started, I am starting another one. I went to my craft room and got my stacks of plain colored fabrics, my charm pack, my travel ironing board and my little iron. I already had the materials set aside for this project as mentioned in a post last week. I'm set pressing the fabrics now to cut into the 10 inch squares that I need. Any leftovers will be cut in to 5 inch squares as I can. I checked out a book from our guild library today that is all about making quilts with 5 inch squares. I hope to pick out 2 or 3 of the patterns to make. I have the big issue of loving to make the quilt tops, but not enjoying at all finishing the quilts. I searched on etsy and it looks like other just sell their quilt tops. I am taking that in to consideration at this point. It doesn't hurt to try anyway. Most everyone I know pays someone else to quilt their quilts for them. I can in no way afford that, so that's out for me. Others however, might just buy one of my tops to either finish themselves, or to have someone else finish them for them. I hope today proves to go well with me sewing, and working online at the same time. I also plan to continue working this way. Planning and doing are 2 different things though, so I will end by asking you to wish me luck. Have a great Monday!
