Mandatory Lockdown - Day One


Ok, first off, I want to share what was on Mo'e for about two weeks... I was dreading going over all those pieces in the center; knew it was going to be bumpy.  Finally realized that all I needed to do was raise my foot just a couple of hairs.


Yesterday, as I was starting to clean up the leftovers from the above project and the Project Quilting 11.6 ( the one I forgot to link... sigh), I decided that I would make a mug rug for a quilting friend that I know loves purple ( she even 'threatened' to sneak over and steal the lapquilt shown above when I wasn't looking lol ).

So, today, I decided that I wanted to work on something more than I wanted to clean my sewing room.  As a kind of compromise, I used a bit of the fabrics that I had pulled for the PQ 11.6 project..
and it was going great until I sandwiched the top, batting and backing and proceeded to quilt on my domestic....
What you see is all four pages of the pattern stitched to the back of the quilt... sigh.... I know, it's not the first time, not even the second time I've done something like this.  I thought I was doing better... guess not.


Here's the project all done... and without the pattern papers on the back.  I stitched two white bone rings to the upper back so that it can be hung. 

Then, I decided that I really needed to get to working on the bunny quilt... have had it loaded for a couple of days, but couldn't decide what to do in the borders... at first I thought CARROTS, but then I realized that a carrot would be great for each of the four blank end blocks.  So, it was back to thinking... I finally gave up and decided to do the same pattern as I did for the PQ 11.6 project.  I like it... it may not be the best choice for this quilt, but it's for a 3 1/2 yr old little girl and I don't think  she's going to care.
I'm going to try and work on it a little more each day so that I can get it done and get something else loaded onto Mo'e. 


And, completely off the subject of quilting... I just have to share this photo that was taken by someone in our small town.... I know nothing about it... just that it looks like someone took the front half of an airplane and installed it onto a vehicle of some sort.



take care...
Stay Safe...
