I've been working on quilting the Broken Glass quilt on the machine, and the Joseph's Coat by hand. Neither are going particularly quickly.
To make myself feel like I'm making a wee bit of progress on eliminating UFOs, here's a hot pad. It involved paper piecing. I made 2 of the 40 squares needed and decided that I really didn't like it enough to make a whole quilt. I added 3 layers of cotton batting and stitched it on the machine.
I also made Kansas Dugout with fabrics sent by
Heather. Heather's fabric donation provided me with a solution to my fabric gathering process for this quilt. She provided me with a list of states that she has lived in...and since the fabric came from her stash, there's a possibility that she bought it in Kansas. OK...it's a stretch....but I made up the rules so I can also change them.
The leftover fabrics are being used for a bonus quilt that will have about 1000 HST. I keep these in my purse and stitch on them in waiting rooms, at staff meetings and at educational conferences. I added another 40 or so this week. I even had Tom Sawyer moments (twice!) in which I convinced friends that I had an extra needle & thread for something them to do during the particularly boring lectures. Thanks Bobbi & Hillary!
Well...back to quilting for me!
