So, I have MOSTLY finished the mini-quilt. What do you think? I think that it needs something…messy, added to it. I haven’t decided what, though. So, in the meantime, I’m just going to leave it. Let me just say that finishing this little thing was a serious effort, as my sewing machine was NOT cooperating. Luckily, when I took it to Marie’s Sewing in Woburn, they were so helpful and got me back on track. That machine is VERY temperamental/fussy/prone to pouting and refusing to work. Much like me! We’re a perfect fit! Anyway, I’d like to keep going with the quilting. Maybe if I make enough of these, I can join them into one big quilt. Notice that I do not yet have the energy/gumption to make a big quilt in and of itself. Someday…

I feel like it tells a story that you’re not sharing. If you wrote up a descriptor of this quilt, what would it look like? If you feel it needs something messy, have you considered letting your preschooler have it for a few days? How about your step kids? Could you please put a link to Marie’s Sewing on this post? I’ve heard it mentioned several times and it would be helpful for future (local) readers. I know an incredibly talented quilter from our church: http://www.genomequilts.com/, let me know if you’d like to meet her.

This mini-quilt was just a snapshot in time of where I am. All of the images are either of some of my most recent artwork, or of the natural beauty of the nearby reservoir. I already miss those vibrant leaves!
Okay, I’ll figure out how to put a link in to Marie’s sewing. Now that you have a machine, you’ll have to stop by! They also have classes… 🙂
