Projects

The Thinking Bed is empty. (By the way, that white quilt is keeping the sun off the tops of the other quilts that are piled onto the bed that is next to a window.)

Once the museum classes ended last week I went into hyper drive with the free days and got things moved to the next level.  When working with the kids, which is fun and interesting always, I am standing for four hours and talking for four hours and come home exhausted so not much energy for anything else.

Liberty circles have a binding sewn on but not down, quilting has begun on the green and blue scrappy and I'm doing big stitch quilting so it's going fast, several smaller pieces have been layered, the blue snowballs are layered.

And here they all sit, all piles off the bed and waiting but are at least at THIS stage

This is the emergency insurance two yard piece of fabric I bought last week.  I cut the tissue circles bigger than the end product will be but wanted Adelaide's idea on placement.  By text we moved them around a bit and I told her that it will probably have a framing border to widen it a bit.  But she is happy with this - leaving room for stems and leaves.  Sunflowers have long stems!   

With the Thinking Bed now empty of nagging little projects, getting them to the point of picking one up and quilting it, I will now focus on the flowers.  My plan is to get at least one flower done for a trial - remember, my concern is holding the fabric in my hand without having to cut it up, and then take it to retreat in April.  Might even get the stems and leaves ready.

I think now I am not worried about holding the fabric.  I remember I did it with Charlie's quilt so will make this work.  

I think that circle on the right needs to be moved down a bit.
