Thanks so much for linking up with pictures of your sewing spaces. It was fun to see them all! And I didn't feel like a no-link-up-loser either. :)
This is what my sewing space looks like today. I am working on the borders for the Skill Builder Sampler quilts. Aggh... It seems like borders should go fast, but these are taking awhile. They are top priority though because in two more days the Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild is having a Sewing Day and I want to have these babies basted so I can quilt them there. There is going to be plenty of space to spread out and I want to take advantage of it.
I am so excited for the sewing day!
I keep on asking my kids, "Do you know happens in two days?!?"
Blank looks.
"SEWING DAY!" Squeal!!! Jump up and down!
Rolled eyes and mom is crazy looks.
14 hours of sewing and socializing! Heaven on earth...
Yay! Sewing day!!
ReplyDeleteBorders and sashing always take longer than I think they will. Always! You would think I would learn to just add a couple hours to whatever I'm estimating. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the Sewing Day! The Skill-Builder Sampler looks great! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
Yay! Have fun at sewing day!
ReplyDeleteMy SBS is almost quilted...thought I was done, but decided I really need to quilt the contours into the Rosie the Riveter poster in the middle on her arms and face. Exciting news...I got the poster put up on Spoonflower for printing. http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kissedquilts Now if anybody else wants to get it on fabric it is fairly easy to do so.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors and blocks! Sewing Day with friends sounds wonderful--and productive!

ReplyDeleteI still haven't managed to get to the point of actually doing the finishing on a quilt, but it sounds a lot like what happens to me with spinning. I'll spin up a whole bunch of wool, and of course it takes a while but that's to be expected. But then I go to ply it, and I always end up thinking it'll take me an hour or two, tops, to ply 400 yards of yarn. I'm wrong about that every time, but it doesn't stop me from feeling like since the hard part is done, the finishing will be super quick.
ReplyDeleteBorders always take longer than we think. For some reason you feel like you should almost be done, because you already have all of the blocks. Have fun on your sewing day! It sounds heavenly.

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's equally educative and interesting,
ReplyDeleteand let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my hunt for something concerning this.
