Fourth Lib Basket piece...finished handles and sewed last 2 baskets together..picked out a border
stripe from an older fabric for it; and stopped...yay....
THEN
Older nine patches--"just a suggestion??" put these on the wall.....
light centers (also have dark centered ones....sewed just 2 and stopped again.....
4)
I have no idea what I was thinking when putting this together...and I still have some pieces
left--maybe a bigger piece?? (Pulled out box with chosen fabrics and pattern notes)
some four patches with a possible small strippy piece ( light greens--Springtime theme?)
6)
Pinks sewn to leftover strips...40 of 'em--no idea where this was headed...perhaps two little play
dolly quilts for the grandgirls???
*******************************************************
SOoooo,
I have begun pulling out the "beginnings" from my drawer of shame.....;)))
These 6 are what I will TRY to stay with (along with my 3rd basket piece which is waiting for backing and batting...on my dining table....)

HELGA is behaving--repair person said my bobbins were so tightly wound up that they were bulging out and catching that bobbin thread underneath. He showed me how to wind them using a different
method on my machine (there are 3 ways evidently--do you read manuals--well, I thought I did!!).
***************************************************
It was really great to get back to sewing this afternoon....I am trying out Cathy's
method of 20 minute intervals of sewing : she's at sane and crazy She gets enormous and humongous amounts of sewing done...check her out--amazing stuff....
I tried it today and did 45 minutes (well, not 20, but a start) instead of my usual 2-3 hours sewing where I get exhausted, make stupid mistakes and get generally irritated...;{{{ and have to have
a Manhattan....;ooo
(well, I still will have one, I guess...hahaha )
********************************************
So, set the timer and work a bit on each project...and do a bit of cutting in between....
Speaking of cutting--I want to make 16-patch Halloween from a MSQ Co layer cake and a Christmas lap quilt 16-patch--
gosh, does it never end? thankfully ;)))) no it doesn't.
(Singin' "Back in the saddle agin', back where
a quilt is a quilt..." apoligies...;))) )
