...yeah, I had a few issues with sticking to one project this weekend! However, I did manage to stay with the quilt long enough to get it pin-basted. Here is Flower Power already to machine quilt:
(Excuse the floor picture. It was too hot to try and hand it in my normal quilt picture location.)
This is another Yellow Brick Road (Atkinson Designs) quilt. I love this pattern because it is easy to cut and assemble.
So, I needed more safety pins to pin this quilt together. Off I went to my local quilt store, The Granary, to get some. And you know what happened, right? I saw some fabric that I couldn't resist. Yeah, I bought it and a few of its friends.
Here comes that attention problem...not only did I get Flower Power ready for quilting, I cut the new fabric for another Yellow Brick Road quilt! I'll show you that on Wednesday.
But wait, there's more...I started spinning a new fiber from The Yarn Wench. While I was stash diving for fabrics that matched the new ones, I found some batts that I recently bought. The colors and the different wools called my name...you know the rest. (I'll show you this on Wednesday, too.)
In keeping with my attention span of a 2 -year-old, I also knit on the Reflection Shawl that I started a week ago. I frogged back to the mistake I made, fixed it, and kept knitting up to the point where I can start the "wings." I'm still not thrilled with the colors, so I think it is destined for the dye vat when I'm done.
Yes, I was a busy little bee!
