a little of this, a little of that

Posted on | April 5, 2012 | 16 Comments

Seems my blogging is all over the place lately – quilting, spinning, hiking, I guess it reflects my activities and general lack of focus.  Oh well.  How about more quilting?!?

I finished this quilt top last weekend, it’s a birthday present for a little guy who routinely steals his mother’s quilt (that I also made).  I measured it this morning with plans to go shopping for backing fabric at lunch but it was raining buckets so maybe tomorrow…

I never tire of the stained glass quilt top shots!

I finished that on Saturday and on Sunday was still itching to sew but couldn’t settle on a pattern.  Just like knitting projects, there are so many quilts I want to make!  I’ve been dreaming of a bright, sunny, springtime quilt and when I couldn’t decide what I wanted to make first, I did the right thing and pulled out a quilt top I started last year, got about 90% done with and then forgot about.  I sewed together the blocks and now I have to find a little more fabric to bring it up to queen size, and of course, fabric for the back.  Blurg.  That’s always the non-fun part – the actual finishing.  No pictures yet, though!

I do have pictures of these:

Little mug rugs, one for my daughter (the weirdly scientific creatures one) and one for my husband!  Fussy cutting is so much fun!  I need more fabric!

And the backs.  I definitely need to work on my free motion quilting, also my corners.

Also – my arugula is pretty close to being harvest-ready!

I’m hoping to get a salad from it next week.  I need to research how to remove leaves and still keep the plant growing, at least until the farmer’s market is in full swing.  Gotta feed the habit!

Lastly – check out this salamander SB saw on his hiking trip last weekend!!!

So cool!

It looks fake, doesn’t it?

I want to put it in my pocket.

See ya later, Sally!
