It's amazing what I can get done if I just settle down to do it. Wanting to have a finish to post on Fridays and stash out to post on Sundays has been a huge motivator.
I committed to help Hands 2 Help with at least one quilt. I wasn't sure what I would do, but had this peach quilt that Little S started and quickly deserted. It had been laid out, but picked up wrong, so I had to lay it all out again and get it stacked back up correctly for webbing.

After agonizing over the arrangement for much too long I just went with it and got the rows webbed together relatively quickly. Should be able to get the rows sewn together when I next get time to sit down and sew. I think I already have fabric that will do for a backing.

I had to laugh because when I dropped off my niece after choir practice, my sister gave me a plate of cookies. I told my girls that if my passion was cooking I would have made cookies this afternoon - or at least dinner. But since my passion is sewing I made part of a quilt. Unfortunately, I can't feed my family the quilt, so we had fast food to celebrate finishing a tough week. Fortunately, they understand and don't have high expectations from the kitchen, especially on the busy days!! If Senor G had been home I would have put something in the crock pot, but when it is just us girls things are a lot looser!
Go see some other finishes at

Hey, cereal always works for dinner too :) or ice cream when the senors aren't home. These fabrics will make a very sweet quilt. NOW GO FINISH IT!
ReplyDeleteI like this quilt a lot -- I like the colors. I have some peach and pink and yellow/cream linen that I've been thinking about using for a quilt. I've never used linen for a quilt but the colors look good together. Maybe I'll do something simple like this. I'm not much of a cook in the kitchen (or anywhere else, for that matter) and now that it's just two of us, we're lucky to get one or two "good" meals a week! It's good you do what you love and that your girls understand.
ReplyDeleteI like your peachy and pink fabrics. This will make a great H2H quilt.
