Avoidence

So many things to do. I have no idea what to start, that I thought I would avoid it for a little while. Things I should be doing,

  • Attaching photos to purse kits.
  • Need to email Marlene to let her know I went ahead and printed the photos myself.
  • Type up the headers for every piece of fabric I plan to have at the quilt show. I'm dreading this one as there is 200 + pieces.
  • Finish satin stitching the flowers onto a comforter. My girlfriends daughters' B-day is the end of the month, and I agreed to put some large flowers onto a plain comforter. I should have looked at the comforter before agreeing. It's poly filled, so it's like wrestling a sleeping bag thru the machine. Only one more flower to go. Hope my back holds out!
  • Dye up more roving.
  • Kit up more purse patterns with above roving.
  • Check on the fabric rusting in the garage.
  • Play with the new interfacing screens/stencils I made.
  • Go upstairs to get camera so I can post a photo here!




Okay, I'll start at the bottom. Shagged my dragging butt upstairs for the camera. This is one of the roving purses I'm putting kits together for.





Pile of roving. This has all been kitted up. Time to dye more.


Same pile of roving as pictured above.

The monster comforter. My sewing chair is under there somewhere. I really should crawl back under there and get busy. In a minute!

This was my dining room until this last weekend. I have been stacking all the finished items here for the quilt show. I have half a dozen totes full of fabric waiting to go in here. They need the headers attached, them they are ready to go. I guess I've put it off long enough. Back to the machine.

TCB

Well it looks like every other week is the best I can do keeping up here. I've been madly dyeing fabrics, roving, fibers etc to prepare for the annual quilt show here. I decided to jump in and vend at the event. Of course I don't have enough inventory, so it will be nose to the grindstone around here for awhile.

I also plan to have kits for 4 bags, silk paper notepad covers, silk paper kits and maybe a few other things for sale. I'll try to get some photos up of the samples. If I have some time I may make up bags for sale too.

Did I mention I have a class (bags) to give the end of this month, and another next month? Yeah, trying to get that together too! I'll be giving a surface design class for the local guild in May, and am planning another for June.

Needless to say I'm feeling a little behind. It's a good thing I work well under pressure.
