Quilting Studio

Thought I'd share this studio tour here. I like that it's not staged or styled for the video and that she makes good use of a mix of cabinets and tables.




This weekend, I had a wonderful friend come over and stitch in my studio space while I worked on finishing the pattern for my new quilt. Gave me a good reason to tidy things up!

Procrastination

I'm watching a video on procrastination right now as I write. So that I don't feel like I'm procrastinating while I learn about overcoming procrastination, I thought I'd post the video here.

One line that made me laugh out loud was that beating one's self up or self-chastising over procrastinating is just another form of procrastination!

In my quilting world, I am queen of procrastination! Now, with 3 kids at home all day, I have plenty of interruptions and other responsibilities to tend to. But last night I started stitching up a new apron because I have been invited to a Pampered Chef party to which we are to wear our cutest apron.

Still haven't finished the drawing for my new Poured Out quilt. Sigh.... Oh look! This series on procrastination has 3 more parts. Think I'll go procrastinate some more!

White On White Quilting

There's the grid marked on my quilt. With the lines on it, it doesn't look so great. I tried to reign in my perfectionist tendencies as this is just supposed to serve as a photo background and there are quite a few bobbles.

 But a dunking in the bathtub removed the markings and really, you can't see the bobbles.

So, what do you think? The bigger question is really: Why in the heck did I do such dense quilting on this?

Now I'm moving to the next fill. What will it be? I have no idea. Check back soon to see!
