according to the label, i made this wall quilt in 2003....that's 22 years ago....and today finally it got a sleeve so i no longer need to use a coat hanger with clips to hang it on the door...great huh? i thought so....
another day with no place to go and no WAY to go either...so what did i do? well, finally finished this wall quilt...
it's the 'oz' wall quilt renamed 'a quilter's journey'...after all, even with a wizard waiting, no quilter would pass by quilt shops along the way, right? it's all ready to submit to the Maine quilt show late summer....i've kept my guild membership from afar...
and we all know sewing is fun but unsewing? umm...not so much. but that's another thing i did today....pulled out hexies meant for another project and began unsewing some to use in this month's chookshed challenge project....
not all will get used...perhaps some quilter might be interested in the remaining...happy to pass them on for postage only....
lastly, a confession....in the last post i showed "purple pathway" with plans to hand quilt....not gonna happen. it was basted so i gave it to the senior center to machine quilt, bind and sell. the money buys supplies for our charity projects and honestly, my quilty plate is full PLUS the list of things i want to make equally so. a win/win anyway i think.
the day is nearly gone and i won't belabor a lengthy diatribe on how bored or imprisoned i feel...i've a couple of outings this week and the following that should provide a smidgen of relief. spring temps of 70 are due to arrive so at least i can escape the apartment and get some steps in. i'm keeping up with the bike but it really isn't enough...thankfully my mom raised a family of readers and going thru a couple of good whodunit books every week that do provide a quasi-escape from hum drum. been eating out of the freezer so no cooking to speak of---just fine with me. farmer's markets open in april with early produce....mostly greens that i have to limit but even so, fresh vegs not too far away.
anyway, it's keep calm and quilt on....or whatever keeps me from SCREAMING!!!!
Good on you for finally adding the hanging sleeve. You can’t rush these things. LOL.
