Stirrings in the studio

Somehow I have gone from working under the assumption that each project should be completed before moving on to the next. Hmmm... well that's kind of gone out the window! Seemed like a good goal at the time, and I suppose it still is, but truth of the matter is that a "cooling off period" is in order.

This is one of the appliqued blocks from this quilt, a new pattern in process called "Heartfelt Blooms". Well, at least for now. This also has an appliqued border with bunnies and such! More on that in the weeks to come, it's traveling with me on the plane this weekend. Considering the time spent waiting in the airport



And I'm proud to announce that I have finished what I now affectionately call "the #@!$" beast"! Really, sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's just painful. Now that it's finished, I think I'm going to make it again, but up the size of it a bit and offer it in a larger size. This one will just hang on my studio like a trophy!

Off I go to watch some evening TV before I crash and burn for the night!

I think it's a testament to who you are as a person and a quilter to have the tenacity to finish your "beast" - good for you! It's really pretty - looks harmless to me! lol!
Your applique is beautiful - can't wait to see the entire quilt!
Have a great trip!
