Finn's UFO challenge really gave me the boost I needed to settle down and clear some unfinished things out of my Studio Q. I find that nothing stalls my creativity more than having a bunch of "stuff" lying all over my studio. It seems to absorb any creative energy from the air so it never reaches me.
So far I have TWO finishes to report.
The first is a string quilt top that I finished a very long time ago. It had been quilted and shuffled from pile to pile while it awaited binding. I dug into my bin of 2.5 inch strips (thank you, Bonnie) and had binding made in no time. Since the top is so scrappy, I thought scrappy binding would be perfect. I think this one is bound to be a Quilt of Valor donation (sorry about the pun!).
Finally, I thought I should show a picture of my Great Dane. Normally she steers clear of my studio - unless she is stealing a new spool of thread. But, get a camera out and she is RIGHT there.
Had to pop over and congratulate you on your TWO finishes Chris!!!! Isn't it wonderful when the spark strikes and you suddenly can do the thing you've been putting off? It sure is for me!! I'm delighted that you found our challenge and are stitching along. The string quilt is lovely, it looks calm and comfortable, kind of like an old friend you're glad to see. And your Jelly Roll Sampler is awesome!! Orange is a favorite with me, as it is with two of my best friends. You did a great job getting those two whipped up and off the list!! Your baby is just adorable, and a thread thief?? What's her name? Hugs, Finn
