I am in the mood to sew............
Remember that snowman quilt top I started (a block a month thing) back last January I guess it was. I meant to get it finished and quilted for the holidays but that never happened.
So I got the squares out this morning. They were pretty wrinkled just sitting around waiting on me to enjoy them again. Poor things.
I sewed some frames around 5 of the squares this morning. Okay, that's not much but you folks have got to remember that I am aging as I speak and the back hurts when I sew. I just have to take it easy and do a little at a time. But, hey, I get there eventually.
And, I had started hand appliquing some flowers. Here is one of those squares. I have 5 of those made. I bet I get a lot more done during all these football bowl games... I sew while they show replays and half time and time outs. Get quite a bit done that way.
Yep, I am geared up for making 2012 a year of the quilts! I'll post what I get done on my sidebar like I did this year. Happy quilting to my blogger quilter friends and Happy New Year.
Love your snowmen blocks and the flower applique looks great too!
ReplyDeleteI have been in the mood to sew lately too after not being able to find time for a while. I got all the Christmas paper, empty stockings, etc. out of my sewing room gave it a lick and a promise cleaning and got to work. Looking forward to what I can get accomplished in 2012.
Love the snowmen! They are very cute. Your appliqued flower is beautiful. I am hoping that I will feel in the mood to finish things in the new year too. Happy New Year Latane!
ReplyDeleteVery cute blocks. Wishing you a happy new year.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Its all coming along really well. I know what you mean about aging and the back hurting. Your snowmen are so cheerfull and the flower is reallly pretty the way the color is gradually changing hues. I like that.
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to "get back to it." I am so anxious to finish some of my UFOs...I'm glad you decided to work on the snowmen! Love that appliqued flower one too. I don't remember seeing those squares. Did I?
