Another Rescue

A trip to the Thrift store led to

another RESCUE this week!

 

Oh.... those UFO's.....

They speak to me.

They KNOW my NAME!

Their voices drown out my common sense.

 

I take them home with me EVERY time.

 

I can't leave them there on the shelf.

Such a lonely life THAT would be!

 

We usually get to be GOOD friends.

:)

All this one needs are a few brown stitches here and there.

We may not have TOO much time together!

 

I imagine this floral basket will make a LOVELY pillow

someday soon!

 

 

 

Tuesday

You know me.

My favorite fabric is called "SCRAP"

and

my favorite word is "DONE".

 

This quilt has them BOTH!

;)

Thanks go to Selina

for sending me this UFO.

As I sat there wrestling quilting this one yesterday

Sophie sent me a comment.

A word that came at JUST the RIGHT MOMENT!

I love when blogland does that!

 

She sent me the word...

BREATHE!

A gentle reminder.

I needed it!

I used some soft white and black prints for the back of this.

They're the last ones in my STASH!

I'm doing a pretty good job

USING what I already HAVE.

There was just a little bit more of that IKEA bird fabric too.

 

I almost DIDn't think to use it!

So GLAD I did!

 

Did some loopy quilting.

Found some GREENS for the binding.

 

It's the perfect cuddle size quilt!

A generous 65"x65"

 

Going to cuddle admire this one a BIT longer

before it finds a NEW home.

 

 

 

 

UFO-ing

O.k.

These are NOT my colors...

but....

I can.NOT. resist someone else's

unfinished project when it's given to me!!!!

 

I can't say NO!!!

 

I see ALL the possibilities!

I wonder WHAT it will look like!

It's  a challenge to take the little pieces

and

try to solve the puzzle!

 

As you can probably GUESS....

There is NEVER a pattern included

in these little packages!

;/

 

That's alright.

I have a THINKING floor.

A place to DREAM.

A place to PONDER.

 

???How will they look

ALL lined up together...

With some wide strips of fabric (from the stash)

between and around???

I think it looks WONDERFUL!

Even if it isn't MY color!
