I finished a top! This is super thrilling for me since lately I just haven't felt like sewing. I lost my SEWJO in January and just couldn't get it back.
Well, this past weekend we met up with family. I met a niece for the first time and her two adorable little girls. I have tops made for the little ones but just haven't had the ambition to quilt them. But now I do!
First I figured I'd get this top off the floor and onto the "to be quilted" pile.
I woke up early, started doing laundry and then decided to go down to the sewing room and, at least, finish the friendship stars...maybe add them to the header and footer.
I did that and forced myself to finish...put it all together. There really wasnt that much to do!
So it's done! It's a top. And I think I have my sewjo back because, as I was having a cup of coffee, staring at my new ottoman, I decided I need a new quilt for this room.
I have mostly blue, gray and white in the upstairs. I needed some warmth so last fall I ordered a new "coffee table". Actually, I found this cute leather ottoman and a tray to serve as a coffee table we can put our feet on. The leather picks up the warm tones in the rug and in my fish picture.
Now I need a quilt that matches better. I pulled out my Autumn/Halloween quilt for now. But I'm thinking gray beige, blue, and a bit of orange/rust might be nice.
So I guess I back😁 Time to get working on more quilts!
