Ever wonder

For those who were asking i did not have my eye proceedure.....i have the flu

Just for fun you know?

Especially with coronavirus around....yeah go me......praying its the run of the mill kind

Have you ever seen a quilt and wondered what it would look like in your fabrics?

Or wondered if so and so would like it?

Or how did that block get made

Where the blocks in the quilt are?

Lots to wonder about. 

Can you quilt all those little pieces?

Is it more work than you want to do?

I find myself looking more at quilt patterns and such.

This tree one in my new book if you look at the white snowflake part  looks very familiar

They put a spin on the outside to make the trees

Clever now that i saw the snowflake

I want to play with common quilt blocks and see the ink blot images too.

So many times i buy a book or pattern 

Spending way more than i should

Only to find i already had that pattern or could have made it easily

Dont get me wrong I  certainly want to support quilt buddies but on a fixed income i dont want to be silly and spend money needlessly on something i have .it could go to fabric which seems to be rising in price each hour.

Hmmm. Can i learn to weave my own? LOL

A lot of times what draws us to the pattern or book is the fabrics used. THE COLORS. The way they PLAY off each other

Hey that looks great in homespun and i have those.

Wow i never thought to make it scrappy

Or monochromatic or in that color

These are what i want to explore more

My own creativity.

I was never a kit kinda gal

No offense i dont want a quilt just like yours

I want Mine.my very own

Anyone else feel that way?

Do you buy patterns then realize you just needed the idea cause you already had the pattern?

Anyone buy kits? Is it because you hate picking fabrics?

Or you just want it all ready for you to sew when you are ready?

Playing with strings today

Mindless sewing thinking of projects i can make

What are you making?

Is it a kit? Original idea spurned off of another idea?

Analyzing myself again to determine why my ufos become ufos.

I found i like mindless sewing like strings and squares and slabs

I found i stall at the quilting part. My domestic cant handle it well. Throat is very narrow and i fight too much

I love to handquilt.....my eyes dont

So there i stall....tops done.....ready to finish

Small projects get done asap except the few that are earmarked for me. I dont make myself a priority

A lot i learned about myself in these 3 months of 2020.

I need to find a way to solve this without working a 2nd and 3rd job to pay someone to do it.

Do you think about your quilting in ways other than i want to make that?

What have you learned about yourself through quilting?
