So ... I have one or two
(or three) projects on the table
(and the floor.)They pretty much all make me happy.
My next sample for
BC Quilter's Club for September and October. I will be using hand applique. What makes me happy about this is that
a) it's a very traditional
pattern (normally seen in Civil War fabs and such) but I'm using some
bright happies, and
b) I really love hand applique.
#2: Project Stun-Way: I bought these new nautical looking sheets, and already had a duvet cover and shams (in foreground) with similarly matching stripes. Today I bought this
(rather cheap-o) dust ruffle
(on left) that I will now add some
blue satin-stitched stripes to, which will complete the ensemble.
Not so cheap-o anymore. (Ergo: happiness.)
3#: Project Un-Done-Way: I spent over 2 hours on Saturday adding these sashing strips to another quilt in progress.
I wasn't thrilled. Today when I walked up and saw it on my wall and found myself
still without thrill, I ripped those puppies off and will be starting anew with sashing that thrills me.
What makes me happy about this? That I had the guts to just rip 'em off like a band-aid, before I went any further.
How about you? What Projects are sending you Running this Way and That?

Uhg! No fun to rip out sashing. I hope the quilt wasn't too big. In the end though, you will be happy with the quilt, and that is the important thing!
