Ironing hubby's shirts:
Cleaning the boys room . . . (really! who would want to even go in there!?! gross, I can't believe I am posting these ):
. . . dusting blinds, preparing dinner, mopping the floor, wiping out the fridge. . . . you get the picture. But today I wanted to sew and quilt and blog. It has been SOOO long since I have done any of those and this:
has been crying out to me so I grabbed some scraps of fabrics that I think look great together and started stitching away. I love the crooked block quilting that I have seen so much of lately. I don't really know how to do it but it can't be that hard right? I cut up some strips of various widths and cut some at a slight angle. Working in a log cabin design I started peicing them together and then when they get big enough I'll square them into a 6"ish square.
Is there a rule somewhere that says you have to finish a quilt in progress before you start on a new one? I hope not. I still have one in the hand quilting phase sitting in a basket by the couch. It is my movie/tv project.
The colors aren't showing up on my blog as vibrant as they are in photoshop. . . hmm. Need to figure out what's wrong. I guess the ironing will have to wait yet some more.

What a cute crooked log cabin pattern. I love the fabric choices. I need to be making something for a certain someone . . . I just need an idea.
Oh and I have lots of days I don't want to do the things that need to be done (dishes, dinner, cleaning). I'm glad you took a break for you.
That will make a beautiful quilt! Great color combos. :) I can always find a reason to sew instead of iron. Besides, that is hubby's job to iron his shirts!
Good to see you posting again !! Love that you spent the day doing sewing and quilting and blogging !
I don't iron my husband's shirts, he wouldn't let me, so I'm happy for that freedom.
Love the colors of the started quilt blocks, I see them and want to do more of my own.
