So Many Things To Do in the Sweat Shop

I will probably sound scatterbrain during this post . I just have to catch you up with all my "current" projects ..  Well after the chicken quilt post , I have now dragged out my shameful attempt on mine . I know now why I kinda lost interest .


 I'm not much on this hand applique. I would rather be stitching binding   Oh speaking of binding , I have successfully put it on the number one Baker's Dozen quilt and just have a corner open for the label .
  I need a thread color that will show up this fabric . Any suggestions ? Nothing bites more than waiting for it to embroider and then you realize you chose the wrong color .
 I'm working on number 2 Baker's Dozen and have that fiery orange binding ready to go . 

 I'm also ready to label this ole quilt . I made it in the 90's . Oh you know you got some of those UFO's too. 
It's called Mother's Choice . I wished I had used just 2 colors , but I didn't . I must suffer through .I'm searching for scraps for the label . I know I have some of that green SOMEWHERE in here ! I got to get busy , Have a great day ! Wendy

Today's Mission

Quilted with Flowers and Swirls .  Well , today I slipped into town with a mission in mind. I finished machine quilting a lap quilt out of the Swirly Girls book . I had my quilt and need binding . . I wanted lime green . This quilt is very busy and out of my comfort zone . I'm old school , more traditional kind of girl . BUT , I really liked this pattern and went for it . I ran errands and went to 145 Art & Design  to fetch up some binding . Orange piece Pretty pink piece ! :)  Noreen , the owner , found 2 pieces to go with it . I really dig the pink . I purchased the orange too . I have another top to finish that will be this one's twin . We sat and talked about the money you have in a quilt and what would be a good selling price .
