Life is hectic these days and sometimes I don't know whether I am coming or going. I looked at the calendar this morning and was stunned when I noted it is the last day in April....OMG....where has the time gone!!! Where are the breaks? I need the time to slow down some. I hope that Spring and Summer don't disappear as well... Note to self to fine time and make the best of it.
On Wednesday, I had many appointments, but when I got home I declared that I quit for the day from any further adulting...lol....my daughter made diner for everyone and I greatly appreciated it.
There I stood in my quilting studio. It had been a while since I had the time, and when I got there, I didn't know what to do. So I decided to pick up some strings that live beside my machine and sew them together, at least until something inspired me.
These are the neutral, low volume stings made into 4" squares. There size leans well to using up smaller scraps. I plan to make another NICU heart quilt with these as the background. This is what I call mindless sewing. Just run them through the machine one after the next.
Then today I had some more time and this time I knew what I wanted to do. I decided that I was going to pick up where I left off and finish the borders of the star quilt that I posted about, on April 18th called Inspirational Star quilt (QW).
I think it turned out really nice. These fabrics were all given to me in a little baggy. It is quite surprising what can fit in a little baggy. I still have a bunch of HSTs and a couple of small strips of orange to figure out what to do with. Now I need to find a backing and quilt this.
It felt so good to finally have some sewing time today.
Take care everyone.
