A Little bit of slow stitching

Last night

after a VERY big day

all I wanted to do was SIT and watch something....

knitting in hand.

 

But my knitting skills are not UP THERE yet.

I totally forgot how to increase at the end of each row.

:(

I did not have the patience to figure it out....

so I pulled out something that did NOT require

BRAIN power.

;)

 

This is one of my very first dump and sew quilts.

A little tiny baby quilt.....

Put together on a ski trip (I wasn't skiing)

about 5 years ago.

 

DUMP and sew is the technical term

for sewing random pieces together

in a random format.

It's always nice when the random pieces

have a theme.

These scraps were mostly 30's looking prints.

 

It was a very small baggy of scraps...as I recall.

I added batting and an old piece of cotton to the back.

Quickly spray basted and gave myself a LONG line to quilt.

Pulled out some BRIGHT green thread.

THEN...

I was able to sit down after my LONG day

and STITCH.

;)

I have a few lines done.

Yeah!

I KNOW this little quilt will be calling my name

 from the dining room table

ALL day long as I do my chores.

 

I will try NOT to listen.
