I've been so busy at work this past week that I have barely had any time to sew. But I did manage to piece together this TATW that I cut out last October. I'm planning on quilting it myself so maybe I'll get it basted this week and quilted next weekend. Maybe....
I'm sort of addicted to longarmers. When I had my own longarm, I didn't mind quilting. But I don't really enjoy it yet with my Juki. I think I just need more practice....or rather, I need more time to practice. I haven't even had much Jamie and Claire time lately (Drums of Autumn book). Work stinks!!! But here is a picture of the top....
I'm considering trying to make something for the Modern Quilt Guild challenge. The challenge is to make a monochomatic quilt. And no, that doesn't mean yellow with a splash of white. Darn. You have to stick within your color range for your whole quilt. I'm going to shop my stash and see what I might have. But I'm not really into buying monochromatic fabric so I don't know what to do. I don't really want to go buy more fabric....but I want to enter the challenge. Hmmm.....Maybe I deviate off the challenge and do one of my own. ;-D I'd like to do a single color quilt, but I need the license to add white (or another neutral) in with it to satisfy my own personal tastes. Why make a quilt that I don't think I'll like? Well, duh, that is why they call it a challenge, huh? LOL....
Do a dark and a light in the same color. The light will end up almost like a white or a neutral compared to the dark....
ReplyDeleteAnd you are to Drums of Autumn??? When did you finish Voyager?? I finished last Thursday, but since my BFF Regina has barely started Voyager, I told her I would listen to a couple of other books to give her a chance to catch up. Now don't talk about Drums! But if you want to discuss Voyager, let me know! lol
I forgot... Your Trip around the world looks great!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember this beauty! Can't wait to see it quilted!
