A quilter is never out of work. I think we have the opposite problem, - too many projects at the same time. There are always new projects everywhere we go either in our local group, in our shops or on the web. Too much tempting all the time and we buy new patterns, kits and fabrics.
I’m happy
to be a part of the quilt world, but I try not to have too many projects going
on at the same time. After I got early retired last year, I’ve finished a lot
of my UFOs, and sorted out my patterns and fabrics. Now I just have one big
project and make smaller projects in between. I also have a bag with hand
sewing to bring with me to the guild, and various waiting activities with my
grandchild.
My big
project now is “Farm Sweet Farm”, a Riley Blake design with fabrics by Lori
Holt. It’s a sew along on the web that started January 2019 and finished in
April. Lori Holt gave new instructions every week how to sew every block. The
only thing you need to buy is “Farm Sweet Farm Sew Simple Shapes”. You can of course by fabric kits and a lot of
other things for this project, but it’s not necessary. I bought a fabric kit
for this last summer, but didn’t start before this June. The instructions are
still there and I’ve made week one, two and three and starting on week four
now. Here is a picture of some of what I’ve made.
She has
also a lot of other Sew Alongs on her blog. Have a look at Lori Holt’s blog.
Good and easy instructions that gives nice results!
