The projects do two things, keep me busy so I don't leave the house and give me something to post about. I'm also slowly finishing all the little bits that I have laying around. I found an embroidered drum set and some great vintage pieces that I meant to turn into something amazing.
I keep stumbling and finding really fantastic quilts people whip together. Which makes me want to try it. I remembered I had this pack of fabric, arranged it in a pattern I liked and started sewing. It's not perfect, but it'll make a great nap quilt for John. Something I can keep in the living room that I don't have to hide if someone comes over.
My mom is coming to visit for Hartwell's birthday and she's an uber-quilter. So I'll probably drag her to my local quilting store to finish the edges and get a cool backing fabric. It's only 3' x 3' right now, not quite enough to cover my feet.

Mmm. Nap quilt. Make me sleepy.
I need to make you a contributor so you can go back in and edit these weird posts. I've fixed this post 7 times and it still reads like I wrote it after a few old man-tinis.
no no no--I love your writing. And in blogs, a few bumbly sentences are perfectly okay--at least, I think so. I mean, I would edit something if you really wanted me to. But I think your blog is just about perfect.
