Busy, Busy, Busy

Another day with a late start. I think I will have to see the doctor and get some sleeping pills. Even though I didn't start until after lunch I accomplished a lot today. I finished another giraffe. 

I quilted one quilt and am about halfway done a second. 

And, I decided to take an inventory of my quilting threads. 

Busy, busy, busy.  Now I am super tired and I hope that I can fall asleep ;)

For not getting out of bed before noon...

For not getting out of bed before noon, I got a lot done today. 

I had a rotten night's sleep last night and thought that today would be a bust. I went downstairs to my studio and thought that I would try to load a quilt. Well I got that loaded and decided to embroider a giraffe for a quilt that I want to make. 

I had both machines going and just went from one to the other. I finished the quilt and was able to load another. I even was able to sew six more blocks for my Celtic Solstice. Yoo-hoo!  I haven't done that much in over a month. Let's hope it continues. 

 

This is the quilt that I was working on. I used the pantograph called Bubbles at 6 inches. Next time I use this pantograph I will try to remember to reduce the size. That is the one thing that I don't like about using a computer to quilt, it is hard to judge sizes from the screen. I will have to keep a better record of what I like and don't like for sizes. 

I'm Back

I have decided to try blogging again. I am off work for a month and can't do much so I thought I would try this again. Today I spent some time in my basement quilting studio.  I am very anxious to finish a project that I started at Christmas. I decided to take part in Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice.  The mystery is finished and I am still plugging away at it.  I am almost done all of the blocks and then it will be on to sewing the rows and borders. This is certainly a case of "slow and steady wins the race."
