Ah — the good news. I have until Saturday to get the three tasks completed in Shelly’s 4th annual Final Countdown over at Prairie Moon Quilts. This is good as my UFO from Day 1 still needs binding and the Day 2 “pile” of quilts are still hanging. Today’s task is to:
Pick a project to work on that is just for you.
Well, it may not look like it’s just for me, but I’ve started on the first block of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I fell in love with Kaaren’s quilt, but knew I would put it off if I didn’t know others were working alongside me, so I’m doing it as a Quilt-a-Long.
The design has been traced and it’s in my hoop. The only reason there are only a few stitches done is I finally realized I was using the wrong type of needle. So, tonight I’ll dig through my supplies to find an embroidery needle and see how much I can get stitched.
You’ve done great, in spite of the fact that the quilt show is taking up your space. But after seeing the show, I think it was well worth it. What a lot of work those represent! They’re wonderful, all of them. What a great idea, too, to get them out and let everyone else enjoy them, too.
