A Mantra I Have Lived By
I have stated in the past that I will typically have three projects going simultaneously (cray or not, that’s me). My typical circus involves one in the piecing state, one incorporating an appliqué project, and finally one pertaining to quilting. Like I said that would all be “15 years worth of typical” until now.
To be honest and bring clarification to the previous statement:
I currently have one in the quilting process. Yes, it feels to me as if it will be the never-ending project BUT I haven’t refuse to give up on it!
Next:
I have TWO, yes count them “TWO” in the piecing stage and believe it or not I am contemplating a third.
Project 1 of Piecing: I hate to leave you all in suspense but this is a special project. Unfortunately, I cannot provide further details until late March. Sorry, but perhaps some of you will return in March to see exactly what I am talking about..lol!
Project 2 of Piecing:
I am sure that it will come as no surprise to many of you that I making use of my all time favorite fabrics in both projects. Yes, “Cherrywood” fabric is awesome! Now, seeing as I had the bleeding issues on my previous quilt, I pre-washed all my fabric in my kitchen sink. Using extremely hot water (almost too hot to handle) and good old regular blue “Dawn Dish Detergent”. Please note the darker fabrics took about 5 rinses before the water appeared to run clear.
Project 3: Well, I suppose it better be an appliqué project, right?! I’ll have to give that one a little more thought.
How many projects do you have going at one time? We all have them. Perhaps you are very disciplined and only concentrate on one at a time idea, or maybe you are a bit like this quilter and have your hands full of a few things going on at one time. Regardless, I’d love to hear how you balance your one project or many projects simultaneously!
Because you just NEVER know!
