Wall Hanging Progress

Still working on my wall hanging for work.  Ran out of the UofL fabric and forgot to buy binding material.  Sounds like poor planning to me.  I had a class at my local quilt store last night so the binding is taken care of, but unfortunately they don't carry licensed college fabric.  We're heading to Florida in the morning, so this will have to wait until we get back.  My office is being painted in a few weeks and we're getting new carpet so this will be a nice touch.

Halloween is Almost Here

It almost seems a waste to spend so much time on a picture you only use one month out of the year, but I did enjoy working on this picture.  Hopefully I'll remember where it is next year when fall rolls around again.  I'm working on a Christmas picture now - it has quilts in it so it stays with my quilting theme at home.  We're heading to Florida on Saturday, so I'm hoping to finish it up next week.

UofL Quilt

The fabric is cut and sewing has begun.  I'm still not sure about the size, I don't want to overwhelm people when they walk in my office.  I need to make a decision soon, but I think I'll cut everything out and see what I think once I see how the fabric is going to look.  I tried to pick coordinating fabrics that weren't too busy, but you never know till you see everything together.

Fall Is In The Air


Decided a little decorating would perk me up, and it seems to have helped.  I'm starting on a University of Louisville quilt for my office tonight - bought the fabric on my lunch hour.  I'm not thrilled about using my newly organized quilting studio, but it had to happen eventually.  I've got a  large area over my desk that has been screaming for a quilt since I moved into this space.  Now that I have the fabric, I'll be on a mission till I get it finished.  Everyone at works knows I quilt, but I don't get an opportunity for them to see the results of my hobby that takes all of my time and most of my spendable income.

Still Not Quilting

Still haven't gotten back into quilting.  Maybe I'll work on a UFO over the weekend.  The lack of quilting is helping get my Halloween picture done.  I'm hoping to finish it up in the next day or so and take it in to get framed.  I've got a great Christmas picture to start on that has several quilts in it.  That seems to be the closest I'll get to sewing right now.  Oh well, it will be there when I'm ready.
