Projects Revisited

 

While browsing through my stored photos, looking for something fresh to share, I came across

my quilt pieces. You can see by the green trees it was still summer. I'm sure I probably told all

of you that I was going to work on this project and get these pieces put together into a quilt

this winter.

It might have looked like this, had I done it! This Sue Spargo pattern is still a favorite of mine.

 And I love working with the wool. You have no worries of it unraveling. You  just apply

it with a decorative stitch, making it as fancy as you choose or simple as mine are. My

pieces are all from second hand wool coats I'd bought on the cheap at re-sale shops.

Now it's hardly fair to show my wool quilt pieces and not show the lovely grandmother garden pieces. I even went to my quilter friend extraordinaire, Trish,  to get advice on how I should proceed

with this one. But have I done anything with it? No. In all truth, I put it back away and I'm not

even sure where it is now!

You might remember that this was put together with antique scraps that were left in an old

house we had bought in the 1980's and then some from the baby clothes I had made for

my daughter who just turned 31.

So why am I beating myself up over not getting these finished now? Who knows? Maybe

it's just winter doldrums trying to set in. Anyone else catching this 'cabin fever' yet?

What are you doing to remedy it? Maybe I should concentrate on all the other projects

I did get finished, and not look at what was left undone. Or I should just get off my

duff and finish one of them.I do, after all, have plenty of winter left to work on them.

I am getting off my duff, right now,to pop over and join Deborah at

 Deborah Jean's Dandelion House

to join her Farm girl party. Yes, I'm a wannabe farm girl!
