I have 3 "must dos" with deadlines, but I think I'm going to start working on a quilt for my own bed. I've been stashing away low volume fabric for months now little by little. Tomorrow I start cutting, assuming of course I have some progress on one of those "must dos". Might be just what I need too :) Simon Says Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450051917560491903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-30620685696868450642013-06-25T14:34:05.646-04:002013-06-25T14:34:05.646-04:00Gorgeous fabric.

Since I am a newer quilter, I have been choosing pretty simple patterns, but I think I can graduate up to trying this one. Thank you for sharing with us! I am excited!!

My son is home for the summer for the first time in two years (he's out of state at seminary) and my nephew is living with us until he gets married in August. While they don't care if I sew, I'd rather cook and bake for them, play games, and visit. I did sit down yesterday and cut out 100 2.5" squares and turned it into a pillow top for my sister-in-law's birthday. Now I want one!Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133349480262766438.post-66301451611613766622013-06-24T12:42:20.786-04:002013-06-24T12:42:20.786-04:00I'm finding it a little hard to juggle sewing ...I'm finding it a little hard to juggle sewing & crafting time with the sudden spurts of growth in our yard and house spaces!
