I can't seem to get motivated to finish my current UFOs, but our guild has a challenge going, maybe that will help. I have even been procrastinating about making up the list of projects. It's probably too long for comfort. Instead, I seem to start new stuff. But at least I finished something.
I tore apart my old, well used and stained mixer cover this weekend and made a sparkly new one. I had this fabric in my stash, bought to make curtains for my kitchen, thinking it was a great combo for my counter tops. It makes a better mixer cover, I am so glad I didn't make those curtains up. It's even reversable, with the batik of the pocket as the inside. Gee, I have banana fabric, too. Maybe I will make that up and it will be my summer cover. But then, I would have to change it back to pears when Pete and Nicole visit, as he is allergic to bananas (lol). Hmmm, maybe I will make reversible curtains, pears backed with bananas, to suit my mood and my houseguests.
I have a bed sized quilt to finish up to send as a gift, and I need to do it soon for my MIL who needs cheering up. I am going to try the basting method that Aunti Nicole sent me a link to the UTube video, with two boards to keep the top and back straight. I will let you know how I like that method.
Happy quilting!
