Sometimes even I surprise myself with old projects. Other
times I wonder what the hell was I thinking.
After reorganizing the garage, I found a bin filled with the
rest of my fabric stash and a couple unfinished quilts, along with the feather
boas I knew I didn’t leave at the old house. Making room for all that fabric
was quite the challenge, as the bookcase I keep everything on was already
approaching maximum capacity. However, I managed to squeeze it all in. Along
with my stash of quilting fabrics, I also found five yards of heavy duty canvas
I scored for $3.96 back in 2002. What I am going to do with it I don’t know,
but I put it on top of the bookcase along with the bolts of upholstery fabric
for some future unknown project.
There were a few UFOs (unfinished objects) in the mix, one
of which I plan on throwing away because, well, it is hideous. Or maybe I’ll
finish it quickly and donate it. I haven’t decided yet. The yet to be finished Family
Tree Quilt I had started for my mother I will more than likely end up finishing
for myself as she should have gotten the original one I made for my grandmother
after her passing. Then there is the story quilt based off a children’s book I
made back in high school, which has some surrounding blocks and a good base.
This I will definitely be working on in the near future. However, since every
part of this quilt so far has been hand stitched and appliquéd, may require
some time. Considering I started this quilt back in 1998, I think taking my
time would be appropriate.
