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

How I Got Into Quilting

         My mom used to take my grandma and Ms. Smith to town to shop and eat out . Grandma's my dad's mom and Ms. Smith's my uncle's mother in law. Got that ? It entailed dragging old ladies from store to store , helping with car doors , canes ,grocery carts, loading the trunk, and then taking them to eat . Yes, My momma's a saint . Seriously ! Ms. Smith was the quilt maker from Tenn. . Grandma wanted to make one . Mom and I decided that we would like to give it a try .        We would go to my uncle's house and we started with a simple strawberry quilt . Our background blocks were TORN from a white sheet . Oh yes , old school baby . We had to go fabric hunting with them to get just the right size polka dot for that strawberry and the just right green for the tops . Needless to say it was torture but we managed to hunt and gather the thread for the blanket stitch or buttonhole stitch and had our work cut out for us .  Strawberry qui...
