Comment 1 Standard

Well, with a full day off to make a last minute trip, I’m ready to quilt the Christmas quilt.   However, the crazy lady did get in the sewing room and work her magic. As I was pressing the latest seam, I discovered this….

As frequently happens, I had to fix her mistakes. However, it is finished and ready to quilt.

Perhaps tomorrow I will quilt it or maybe get something else ready to quilt. Who knows?

Stay tuned….

UFOs

Comment 1 Standard

Today was the day to start my huge stack of UFOs.  For those of you in the nonquilty world, this does not involve an unknown aerial body but instead, unfinished objects that are in every quilter’s workspace.
For today I decided to work on a bird quilt I started over a year ago. However, (this is the first introduction of the crazy lady) this is what I found.

Notice the gash in the middle of the border. Ok, so the crazy lady is the one who goes into my sewing room and screws stuff up rather frequently.  This leaves me to go in and clean up the mess.

Here is my solution

I decided to appliqué some of the bird squares onto the border. We will see how it turns out.

Stay tuned…
