My big box o’thread appeared this morning a couple days before expected so it was good I managed to get all those pins closed last night.
This meant that it was time for the ceremonial cleaning and waxing of sewing table and cleaning and oiling of the sewing machine and setting up the test quilting piece and having a brief go at that.
It seemed like a Good Thing that there, atop the sewing machine, waiting for me like a rare epic Warcraft ring was this:
I’m no fool. Bind on Pick Up or not, I put that on and went on with the rituals required.
I’m going to start by sewing down all the little yellow flecks so I can get rid of all the small applique pins holding them on. Then it will be on to the main event, quilting the heck out of it.
No doubt there will be more.
Truthfully would rather have been writing on my NaNoWriMo. Trying to get this quilt done because I see the glimmer of the next one out there.
I’ve been thinking about the journaling that is part of the seasonal palette quilt thing. You’ll remember that not so long ago I submitted haiku for both bio and quilt statement. I’ll continue to use the bio haiku because hey why not?
While I’ve been putting all these pins in today I’ve been thinking about this journaling process. I’ve taken some photos. I have some scraps set aside. I’ll send in a practice quilt piece.
And in the written material, I plan to write:
November – I took the month of November off to do National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). First time and I ended up writing 50000 words in 29 days. Nothing quilt related.
Best thing I could have done.
My blog journals my quilting progress so it will be easy to pull it together.
All layered and ready for pins.
Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what is impossible with talent is genius.
