In making preparations for Hurricane Isaac to drop in for a visit, I accomplished all my (chores) to do list. I didn't want our family to be with out power and needing clean clothes, food and water, or other such things.
But now, I have nothing to do. Crazy huh?! It is rare for me to be in this predicament. Plus after I posted how happy I was to have internet and power ... guess what happened next?! Yep, we lost both!
It wasn't for too long, only a few hours. So during that
time, by lantern light, I ripped seams from an older project I had been
wanting to redo and organized my fabric scraps by color (what a
difference that makes-why didn't I do that sooner??).
Today I was able to pull two of my w.i.p's from the closet. I posted the dresden several weeks ago, thinking I could finish it up that week. Nope! It sits as you now see it, at least now it is pinned and will be hand quilted later today.
I finally put the finishing touches on the granny square mini quilt project. Which took only a few minutes, why didn't I do that sooner, also?!
I am at a loss. What should I do with it? I was thinking a pillow. But that will be a pretty big pillow. It will be handquilted with perle 8 thread, no matter what it ends up becoming...
Will you please help me
make up my mind?!
Thank you for all the dear well wishes. The storm packed a good amount of wind and rain and broke off several tree branches, but other than that, everything else in our home is fine. Your prayers and thoughts were deeply felt and appreciated.
I keep checking the weather channel to see whats going on, Im glad you folks are ok with little damage if any..Your pink granny quilt is sooo cute. I would leave it as is, as a wall hanging in a baby nursery maybe,or make it a medallion quilt if you are up to it , which means adding more borders and such . I like it just as is though..Im off to my mini vacation at the shore so Im off the net, take care ..Izzy
ReplyDeleteSo thankful you are ok Trish. I have been watching the weather channel and praying for you. Whatever you decide with your little quilt will be wonderful. It always is. :)

Hmmm, how big is it? Could you add some borders for a baby quilt? Wall hanging? Table square?
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to weather the storm:>) I was praying for you!
LOVE the Dresden! I know what you mean...whenever I finish something I've been putting off for a while I think, "Why didn't I do that sooner?!"
ReplyDeleteGlad you weathered the storm well!
What about a table topper or wall hanging for your small quilt?
Who doesn't love a hurry up and wait game? Love all your little stitches and to be"s...smiles..Renee
ReplyDeleteHi Trish! Happy to hear all is well! LOVE LOVE LOVE your dresden!! How large is your granny? It would be really cute as a pillow :) xoxo Debbie
ReplyDeleteSo glad your family is safe from the storm. You are so right in the "why didn't I do that sooner" I am feeling the same way as I am working on tons of UFO's. Drooling over your Desden plate, hope to do one for our home someday. Your Granny square piece is lovely, whatever you decide make sure it will be in your sight to enjoy it's sweetness
ReplyDeleteIs there some little girl in your life? It looks like a doll quilt to me.(p.s. My grandmother made me a doll quilt and I still have it. It brings back happy childhood memories when I look at it.) Sherry from Ky.
ReplyDeleteLove your dresdens and granny squares! I am so happy you are all well!
ReplyDeleteWell done for getting those UFOs ticked off the list! LOVE your pretty granny quilt...I'd vote for hanging it on the wall where it can be much admired and adored :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad the storm has passed, and have a lovely weekend. xx
I stumbled up your great blog! Where are you located? I am in central MS and we got TONS of ran from Isaac and a few tornado warnings.
