When I got back from my trip up north for Thanksgiving it was like traveling back in time. We had a enjoyed a little snow storm while staying at my sister's house over Thanksgiving. When we arrived home, the leaves had finally started to fall so when I look outside it looks like fall is in full swing.
So with the cooler temps today, it feels good to get under my current hand quilting project and put in some stitches. I was suppose to be tracing my templates for my last border of Baltimore Garden. But, as you can see from this post I have absolutely no self control. But I firmly believe you should follow your desires. Each quilt will get finished when the time is right!
I started out the year saying no new projects until I finish some of my wip's. I think I have done pretty good and than I said well...................... it's December, if I only use fabric from my stash, it's only a small project 30 rows, it's one of those portable projects you can take anywhere. Do you ever convince yourself that you just have to start something new? Well, a fellow blogger Suzanne over at Minou's Minute inspired me to try a hand pieced project. Brigitte Giblin started a group on facebook that is hand piecing a Trip Around the World. Something I have always wanted to do and another way to use up some old fabrics in the stash. I am really enjoying it! I really love this project as I can just keep adding squares and it reminds me of how quilter's of long ago were so frugal. Oh my, aren't my excuses so lame, I just need to admit I am addicted to stitching and have no self control.
