digging around in my sewing room

Last night I worked on my blocks for next months guild meeting. Hearts of course, for Valentines day. This is the hearts in progress.........

yes I do sometimes drink and quilt. :-)

Explains a lot doesn't it?

Here are my hearts today. See the drink changed.

Then my quilting ADD kicked in and I started rummaging around in my sewing room.

Look, I found a box of apple fabrics. I remember starting to think about planning to do an apple quilt several years ago.

See the cute little Minnie Mouse picking apples? that was from an overall set that Miss V wore........... at age 2. She is 15 now. I think I should get something done with this huh?

I also came across my very first attempt at block of the month.

I thought it was a fabulous idea at the time, these big flower blocks are 12 inches, so at the end of the year, or so I thought, I'd have a quilt all done with hardly any effort. All I needed to do was whip one out each month as they came out online.....

I was diligent. I was focused.

For three months......

I even found the extra green and blue fabrics I had used for the first ones, I really thought I'd get caught up at some point during the year.

So I even printed out all the directions..........

And put them in page protectors, and if you click on the picture you might be able to see the date.............

1999.

The saddest part is I did this with the previous year, and the next 3 years of patterns. All in binders, but not ONE lousy block to show for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
