Does anyone else work on three or four little projects at the same time?
I know that we all have many projects on the go but I seem to find myself sewing a bit of one project and then get the next out and do a bit of that and then go back to the first and do a bit more stitching on it and then stop for a cuppa and then........
I think my problem is that I really try and get away without changing thread or the foot on the sewing machine. It's all that stopping and starting and changing thread that I dislike and then to realise that you need the white thread again to do only a small line of sewing.
(I think that is called 'Laziness' Erin)
The only bonus of chopping and changing is that I seem to finish a few projects together.
Last week I started my Mini Quilt for a swap with a member of the Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild.
Some of you may remember that I came up with a few ideas and couldn't decide which mini quilt top I would use. In the end I chose the grey/pink top to head to my partner and the other tops were made into two cushions.
Very dense quilting ...1/4 inch straight stitching...lucky it was only a cushion and not a large quilt!
I'm very happy with this cushion.
I will defiantly go back and make some more cushions in this style.
My second cushion is ever so big. Just under 30" square. Um don't know if I can get a cushion insert for this one but, I'm sure if I look around I will find something to fill it.
Until then it will have to be a nice flat cushion.
So the mini quilt....I didn't want to rush things. Although I am going to do some hand stitching around the squares, I still haven't decided what type of FMQ I am going to use.
(yes I'm going to step out of my comfort zone and do some FMQ)
