I am continuing work on "A Sparrow in the Rain". I had hoped it would be ready for a reveal today, but I had to spend hours yesterday unpicking a portion that I had quilted. It was beautiful quilting (even if I do say so myself !) - along the lines of my previous "magnum opus" (pictured here)
but it just didn't suit this quilt. While unpicking it however, I came up with the perfect quilting pattern for another quilt top I've had made for a few months. I just couldn't figure out how to quilt it. Now I know. (Sometimes mistakes are good.)
I also spent some time making the whole darn family pajamas on Saturday. BSP requested a pair, and then I made myself a pair (the top is too big, but I'm hoping it will shirnk down ). When I modelled it for BSP I also wore my "domestic goddess" rubber gloves [complete with "diamond" accents], announcing upon my arrival in our bedroom that I was in my "evening wear". *hee*
Mine are flannel - I know, I know, flannel shorts? But I'm at that time of life - and I can be hot with the heat of thousand firey suns and then freezing cold within five minutes of each other. Ergo, flannel shortie pjs. *laughs*
Oldest son then requested some "Bill Cosby" pajamas, and then youngest son wanted some too...so I didn't get any quilting done on Saturday at all. I did have nearly as much fun though (I always forget that for 30 years my first sewing love was sewing clothing!) and came up with some really fun pajama patterns.
That said, enough fun and games (!); I have to finish my quilt in time for my guild meeting this Sunday! I'll be quilting furiously all week.
If you've got a magnum opus you're working on - link us to it! :)

Hi there Diva....I agree with you, the quilting is beautiful on your quilt. Your learning-from-your-mistake quilting inspires me to make more mistakes myself!!
ReplyDeleteFlannel's - love them!
Hey Kit, Your quilting looks great! And having to rip out stitches is just part of the process (not necessarily the most fun part either). Your pj's are cute! Good luck with your tempature regulation. Happy quilting!
