Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I have done nothing on this list. Bleah! Having a list is good, but it doesn’t make the work get done. I have been stitching on sleeves, which I probably should have put on the list, but didn’t. I’ll try harder for next month. To Do List: Sew white on black wavy line 8 pointed … Continue reading “May To Do List”
I am not sure I will finish as many quilts in 2014 as I did in 2013, but I am pleased with the progress I am making. I have to remind myself that it is about the process and what I am learning and sharing with you. You never know. There are a lot of … Continue reading “Current Projects – April 2014”
I totally forgot to update my list at the beginning of the month. Better late than never! To Do List: Sew green and red striped 8 pointed star (probably should include an item called “find background template for 8 pointed star!) Sew white on black wavy line 8 pointed star Layer, baste Christmas table runner … Continue reading “April to Do List”
Last week Jackie asked what was on my cutting table. I took a picture of what was happening there to share with you. Short version: what a mess! 😉 I do make good use of the cutting table I made out of our old microwave cart. The way I arranged this post was to number … Continue reading “What’s on My Cutting Table”
No joke. I worked diligently on Saturday and finished the top of the Disappearing Pinwheel. When I last wrote about this project, I didn’t really feel like I could ever finish it. I may not have conveyed my feelings in the post, but I was feeling pretty low about it. I don’t know why. Then … Continue reading “Disappearing Pinwheel Top Complete”
A nice finish, though not one that made as much impact as the Attack of the Hexies. Finished 2014 Quilt Projects Infinity Quilt: Finished 3/3/2014 Spiderweb: Finished 2/22/2014 WHEW! Finished 2014 non-Quilt Projects Scrap Lab Backpack – finished 3/16/2014 Tea Towel pillow – finished 1/1/2014 Still WIPs Aqua-Red Sampler – Frances and I started up … Continue reading “Current Projects – March 2014”
I picked out more colors for the Russian Rubix last week.I’m nearly there. I seem to be inspired to make progress all of a sudden. Perhaps my mind is freeing up from the rigors of other projects. I am not sure why that would be true since I seem to have three projects actively going … Continue reading “More Color Progress”
I had 14 items on my February To Do List. I have removed four that I completed prior to that post and have crossed off the ones I completed since January 4. I also added at least 3 new ones, so it doesn’t look like I made much progress. This list is in no particular order. … Continue reading “March To Do List”
I still really only have two “really old” UFOs left on my list – the Pointillist Palette and the Tarts Come to Tea. The others are old, but they have a different feel to me. I may be kidding myself, but that is what is in my head right now. I am still kind of … Continue reading “Current Projects-February 2014 (26 Projects)”
What I am reading: I just finished Silent in the Grave, Silent in the Sanctuary, Silent on the Moor and Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn and am on to The Dark Enquiry again. Yes, again. Sometimes I need comfort books. If I had A Town Like Alice on audio, I probably would have … Continue reading “Various & Sundry 2014 #2”
I am tempted to start each of the DPW posts with “I blame Sandy for this project.” It isn’t, however, a very positive statement and I do have free will with which to resist her quilty-wiles. I didn’t on this one, perhaps because I had a Layer Cake that really needed to be used as … Continue reading “Disappearing Pinwheel Blocks”
A few weeks ago I was feeling very “light and fluffy” in terms of projects finished and the mental space to start considering the possibilities of new projects. I had finished a number of smaller projects, had really made some good progress (reached a tipping point) on my UFO list, and felt like the world … Continue reading “Workroom Chaos”
I told you I was going to change this post to reflect the progress that I have made on the 26 Projects List. I really only have two “really old” UFOs left on my list – the Pointillist Palette and the Tarts Come to Tea. The others are old, but they have a different feel … Continue reading “Current Projects – January Update (26 Projects)”
I had 25 items on my list last time. I have removed the ones I completed (you can see them in the December 2013 To Do List post) and have crossed off the ones I completed since December 4. This list is in no particular order. To Do List: Kelly’s Brown Round Robin Sew on … Continue reading “January 2014 To Do List”
I told you that I was thinking about changing the name of this post in the new year. I think it is a valuable post for me to write, so I have decided that I will continue, but will just change it somewhat. I will freshen it up a bit to reflect the progress I … Continue reading “26 Projects List – December Update”
