I did a lot of sewing and quilting this week. I quilted two twin sized charity quilts and I am 2/3s through a queen size customer quilt. When that quilt comes off I am going to put my DWR on the frame. This week I sewed the backing up but I won't count it until the quilt is quilted.
I also spent a lot of time making bias vines. Lots and lots of bias vines. Some 3/8", some 1/4" and a lot of 1/8". Would you believe that there is over 20 yards of the little vine in this picture? It took awhile but it wasn't too painful since I used bias bars. That worked pretty slick. I won't count it until it is sewn down. So I will get to count stuff in the future but not today.
Does your ironing board look as bad as mine? I do not feel bad about it. It is just a fact of life as a quilter. If I had a wonderful one it would soon look just like this one does now. So I just don't worry about it. Hope you have a great week sewing your wonderful, marvelous stash.
I've always been a bit afraid of making bias vines. I don't know why, I just am. I've done it, but rarely and I think I need to find a pattern or make my own that requires lots of vines so I get over my fear. Thanks for the inspiration! And yes, my ironing board looks like yours but I choose to think of it as a sign of how much work I do there. (Is that being delusional?)
ReplyDeletei love that lime green fabric you used for the vines. lots of good work showing on that ironing board. and i'm like you regarding ironing board covers---if it doesn't have a hole,it doesn't need to be changed yet. LOL.
