I fixed coffee and fed the furballs
Enjoyed said coffee while blogging to see what everyone has been up to. Saw something I liked so I pinned it
Started pinning - looking at quilts - - looking at RED quilts
Remembered I want to find more ideas to repurpose doors and windows
And started searching for recipes for something for supper
While carrying all the laundry to the laundry room - - thus passing my craft room and remembering that I wanted to post about the quilt I started last weekend and oh yeah - - gotta go out to the freezer to get something for supper.
Remembered to take pictures of the beginnings of my red quilt and the inspiration for it
OH yeah - - I want to do some spray painting today since its supposed to be 66 degrees or so! And I've got some doors that I want to make a headboard and footboard with for the spare bed..... and don't forget about thos 42 windows!!!
CRAP - - I've got to start the laundry
Wandered in blog land some more and here we are.....
This year I acquired a couple of quilt books, and each one of them had the same picture of a quilt in it that I have fallen in love with....
SWOON..................
I WILL make this quilt with the same fabric.........
But in the mean time, for Christmas, I asked my MIL for red fabric so I can do a red quilt (my interpretation of a redwork quilt is the best way to describe what I have in mind)....... And she delivered!!! And gave me a gift certificate to a fabric shop for more!!!
Here are some of the blocks that I've come up with so far......
Sometime this weekend, I hope to be able to start my list of things I want to accomplish in 2012.... However, organizing and planning ahead like that is just sooo NOT my forte!!
Happy Saturday, everyone!!
Hugs ~~ Suz
I hate to say that I am laughing at you, but it is an "I'm guilty of the same exact thing" laugh. I got up with the intention of working on some blocks in my sewing room. Somehow I ended up downstairs on the couch with my laptop and a giant red dog sleeping halfway in my lap. I'm still not dress and I haven't had breakfast. It's 11:03 am now.
ReplyDeleteOh and I really like your red blocks. A red and white quilt is one of the things on my list for this year.
ReplyDeleteThis must be something going around... I can't seem to get anything done, only planning and meaning too! Now near noon, and I'm still ... meaning to!
ReplyDeleteI like the red blocks...It will be an awesome quilt when its finished! Well, I hope we get it into gear and get something accomplished before the day is gone! In the meantime...ain't 'me' time grand! Hugs
I love your blocks for the red and white. I do not like red, so you may inspire me to do it in another color. Too much red drives me crazy!
ReplyDeletePS I get up at 2 am (my shift with the GM) and after her breakfast, etc. I am just like you. One thing after another, back and forth. My friends think my way of accomplishing tasks is crazy but they all come together in the end!
I really like the reds! I'm actually making this quilt too, but with Moda Etchings and I'm trying to figure out the math to make it a queen size. I know I'm in for an expensive, time consuming quilt, but it'll be worth it!
ReplyDeleteYour not the only one that goes from one thing to another and back again! I don't get anything done on days like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the red in the quilt! Of course I love red!
