I am getting ready for a vendor event and I have a goal of making 10 items each week. So last night I cut out 11 items and today is sewing day, or I think it is! I have not gotten to sewing. Using the quiet house time to clean out a cabinet! The church is having a Lovolution yard sale Saturday. That means its a free, yes free yard sale. So its time to give back and clean out my cabinets at the same time!!! I find the only way to do this is when no one else is around to set on the stuff of pick up what I have already organized! I think we have all had that problem at one time or another! And then while my boys watch the newest Duck Dynasty tonight I will sew!
In the quilting world I am working on a postage stamp quilt for my mom. It takes decades for mail to get places and I feel like its taking me decades to do this! I have 2 pieces complete with 200 2 inch squares and hundreds to go! I decided this week to add blue as the sashing and will go get some this week!! In the meantime I need to sew 3 other sections. I will be at 500 squares by that time and will have to start collecting more. My hope is to have no 2 square out of the same fabric! If you would like to mail me some 2 inch squares I would be overjoyed!!! You can place a bunch in a regular envelope and place a regular stamp on it! I would be forever in debt to you if you do!!! Until you do a project like this you do not know the thrill of the little squares!!!
Back to cleaning so I can sew! Have a good week and check out the other WIP @ http://www.freshlypieced.com/ These little blogs motivate me to write and I thrive off other blogs and the ideas they give me!!!
I so love postage stamp quilts! Have several iterations cut out but none sewn together...
