Getting it together.

I am bad.  Yes, bad.  No excuses.  Faithfully every day I read the most lovely blogs by quilters, examining and drooling over their lovely projects.  Do I post? No.   I think I had better change my habits and 'get it together'.

Our house is for sale at present, and 'getting it together' to be ready for viewing did take some time and effort and all the quilting and sewing items were boxed up.  Then, we realized that we were not in a hurry to sell and if it didn't happen until the spring that was alright, except I would be looking at a long winter with no stitching.  Yikes.  So, I took one of the bedrooms, and rearranged it for a quilting studio.  One that I have to be very careful to be kept clean and tidy in case of viewings.  No throwing the scraps over my shoulder onto the floor like Eleanor Burns! HA!

So, what am I working on?  Well, one of my goals this winter is to ' get it together' and  finish HAND quilting this King Sized Whole Cloth quilt.  I have decided that I should work on one " hoop" of quilting a day, and so far over the past two weeks I have met the goal.  After this quilt is done, I will never hand quilt feathers again - oh my gosh I will have had enough! 

The middle here has been completed and I am working my way around the outside feathers and scrolling designs.  Due to the size of the quilt, I tried but could not get it all in one picture.
