Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

I’m Weak

001

Oh dear.  I know I said I wasn't going to start anything new.  I know I said I have way too many UFOs and need to just focus on one of them and finish something.

Here it is, June 28, as I write this.  The Another Year of Schnibbles deadline is the 30th. I have to check on Grandpa twice a day.  I have Eva all day long. I work all day on Saturday.

002

Seriously.  I do not have time for this.

003

When on earth will I find any time to work on this project?

  1. Looks like great progress to me! Who cares if it’s something new when you planned to work on the Schnibbles quilt top?? Sewing is a sanity saver and with your schedule so full, just go with your creative flow and enjoy yourself.
    Love the photo of the moon.
    Yesterday we took AMIL to the rehab so she’s now next door to FIL. Glub, glub!
    Hugs!

  5. Who need sleep, anyway? I can see why you were so tempted to make this – I love the Farmer’s Market fabrics and it will look great in Leap Year!

  7. My dog woke me up at 6:20 a.m. today so I headed down to my sewing room……we are a crazy lot!

  9. Ha ha… too funny.
    I recently took my Mother to a quilt store, and when we left she asked ” Do you just feel like going home and cutting up this fabric to get the quilt started or do you stick to your chores and get the dishes done”? 🙂

  13. I resolved to stick to just UFOs until I get some of them finished! That was a few weeks ago and since then I got a queen size UFO finished to the point of needing borders. Yesterday I told a friend I was going to be strong and choose another one for my next project. Then last night I got the urge to start a kit I had on hand and just couldn’t resist so now I have another UFO. I don’t feel too bad since quilting is my hobby and I do it for fun. There’s nothing more fun than starting something new.
    I love the Farmer’s Market line but haven’t bought it yet. After seeing your Leap Year I think I’ll be sorry if I miss out on it. What are you going to use for the sashing fabric? Even if you don’t finish it this month you’ll be glad you started.

  15. LOL– you made my day! I too have resolved to work on those UFOs, but that didn’t stop me from making a new quilt top last week (a fast one) or buying a luscious new piece of fabric yesterday. My goal for today is to get some binding sewn on to a quilt that has been waiting patiently for it for several months now . . .

  19. Wow, those are pretty! You’re doing them a little differently, I see…..more scrappy instead of just 2 fabrics per block. I like !! 🙂
    So…you are burning the midnight oil and then some, huh?

  31. Nicole, as the saying goes “where there’s a will there’s a way”. I think that most of us quilters suffer from some form of ADD – we just love to sprint from one project to the other. When I started quilting I said to myself (and anyone else who would listen) I am only going to work on one project at a time – I quickly learned otherwise.

  33. lol, that’s the Star of Quilters guiding you to the promise land(finished quilts).
    Oh, just go with it! You could be doing much worse things: 1)you could be out gambling 2) you could be in a bar trying to pick up men half your age 3) you could be watching something lousy on t.v.
    You see? It’s not so bad! Have fun and sew…it’s good for the soul. ;p xoxo

  37. Pretty blocks. I think I’m just going to stop saying that I won’t start anything new. It’s maybe the most fun part – beginning!

  49. Hi Nicole. You are not alone! I’ve been so busy organizing my stash for the last several weeks, I haven’t had much sewing or quilting time. This post makes me want to cut into my Farmers Market jelly roll. This quilt will be so pretty!
