DESIGN WALL MONDAY - 10/18/10

So still not much sewing happened this week.  Between work and the kids and life, not much time for sewing.  My youngest boy started basketball and with 3 games a week that takes most of the evening time when I usually do my sewing.  Next month will be even worse because my step son will be starting high school basketball so between the two I won't have a weekday to spare.  But I so enjoy watching both of them play so I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

With the 5 minutes I had here and there, I did work some more on the dresden I took from my mom,  I don't think that it will be a wall hanging anymore as it is growing to more closer in size to a lap quilt.  It keeps talking to me so who knows what will happen with it.  Yesterday after I figured out that I had the midarm mom gave me threaded wrong I rethreaded it and started quilting a top Sunday (well more like playing on the top) I had made from scraps.  I am still learning and since I have only quilted myself 1 quilt and 1 wall hanging with my regular machine I have alot to learn and still have to learn how to get the tension correct so the quilting is perfect.  But i am a determined woman and I will persevere.......lol

  2. Now I wonder who will believe that you won't have time to quilt--not me! You make time for the things you love to do...it might be 5minutes here or 5 minutes there.

  3. Your boy is cute in his uniform. I remember those days well.

    You might try some hand piecing since you're attending a lot of games :)
