It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted. I've been making slow and steady progress on my selvage quilt. Apparently, I struggle at counting since I was seven cornerstones short when I laid the quilt out. I have since made the seven cornerstones. I'm glad I took the time to lay it out. I plan on bringing it to the quilt retreat next month to finish up. That would have been fun to discover that I was short!
With this quilt set aside, I am starting to cut a few more projects up for the quilt retreat. I try to avoid cutting anything at retreats. I like to have projects all ready to go to avoid mistakes and wasting precious sewing time. I also like to make a checklist to ensure that I have everything I need. There is nothing worse that forgetting something at a retreat. One nice thing about the retreat I'm going to next month is that I've been there two other times so there is no mystery of what I need to bring or leave behind. I've heard of retreats where space is very limited and I cannot imagine how anyone gets anything done. It's nice to be able to spread things out.
My goal the rest of the week is to finish cutting projects up and to also take a look at my UFOs to see if make any progress on them. I also want to get a quilt loaded on the longarm and start working on some of the tops that I have piled up. I don't want to be in a situation like I was in last year where I ended up quilting nearly 50 quilts in less than two months. Not fun!
Happy Quilting!
