I have never had so many unfinished projects going at one time. Usually I like to finish one before I start another, just because it annoys me having unfinished things.
But Christmas is coming and I don't have a lot of time to spare and a lot of gifts to make. I start things that I can work on at the moment but might be missing some supplies for and then put them to the side and start something else until I get what I need..
The doll quilt still sits because I need to pick up the free motion foot in the city..
Why do projects look better in my mind? This quilt doesn't look anything like I wanted it to, I can only hope that once it is quilted it will somehow change it's appearance and actually look like a vintage sheet quilt and I will like it. I love the vintage sheets look but it never looks the same as I thought it would.
Then there is this started quilt,
Ugly Flowers I am going to call it. *lol* I find that blue flower fabric pretty hideous, but was hoping when paired with other fabrics and put in a quilt it might not be too bad, I am going to do some form of a Chinese Coin quilt with a light beige linen to contrast the bright colors that are in the squares. My sister, J loves the color orange and somehow the blue fabric reminded me of her...(is that bad?) So she will get the quilt. I still have hope that once it is all together it will look pretty decent.
Tonight I took some quilting time off and finished another outfit for T, her fall and winter wardrobe still needs expanding and with all this quilting business I haven't been able to get any clothing sewing done.
Then I tried out reverse applique on a bought shirt.. It was easy peasy but the flower turned out to be more like a star...
