Yesterday, I made a big dent in sorting/packing/purging. The best part about it isn’t that I’m that much closer to being done. No. It’s that I’ve been able to unearth a few projects that just got lost in the shuffle. One of them was my English paper-piecing project. I originally intended this to be blanket-sized, but when I saw it yesterday, I thought it would look great on a canvas, as a wall decoration. When I picked it up this morning, though, I wanted a pillow. I wanted to be able to cuddle it. So, I got to work. I finished up the corner hexes and then I quilted it to a piece of cotton batting (with embroidery floss). I used some cloth napkins to make an envelope back and sewed it up, early this afternoon. It’s pretty.
You amaze me. Ohhh I found this fabric so I thought I’d just stitch up a PILLOW while mothering my 2 children, packing to move, and saving the world.
HAHA! Yeah, right! I have had these hexes in the works for over a YEAR! http://www.flickr.com/photos/yarnattacks/3496532682/in/set-72157622570775748/ I’m the ultimate slow-poke when it comes to big projects. That’s why I turned this one into a little one. :)
Whatever, I’m with Vanessa!
Wow, I have no idea where you find the time for such a beautiful creation! You are amazing. I love that you invest energy into creating. Makes me wish I did too! I am somewhat inspired!
This post is making me want to put everything aside for the day and do patchwork. Those browns are so delicious! I have total pillow envy right now.
