As you may or may not know, I have been working on a double wedding ring quilt for several years. I complete one row per year when I'm on retreat up in Tobermory with the Beach Girls. Every once in a while the Universe teases me, and has a customer bring one for quilting.
This is so pretty. I just love these quilts and look forward to someday completing my own.
Nice plain back that shows off the quilting. 💗
When I posted my to-do list last week, one of the items on the list was to "Marie Kondo" my corner of the living room. OMG, look at the piles of mess on my table and in the bookshelves.
BEFORE
DH and I were heading out for Chinese food and I told him that I'd been working on Marie Kondo-ing my corner. He had no idea what the hell I was talking about, so I had to tell him all about Marie Kondo. If you've ever seen HIS corner of the living room (or his garage, or the shed, or his truck, or...) you would know that she is not his kind of girl. 😛
AFTER
I kept a small collection of magazines that I still need to go through before I decide their fate. And that little pile of remaining junk will be dealt with today. The Quilts Japan magazines will go upstairs where I have saved every issue I've ever purchased. I may take them to the crematorium with me when I die. 😄
This is the pile that I'll plow through to see what stays and what goes to the guild for redistribution. There are lots of Modern Quilting magazines and Machine Quilting magazines and a few random quilt magazines in here. And my seed catalogue.
Here's the to-do list as it currently stands.
It has been a wonderful long Easter weekend for working on stupid chores. We had no plans for a fancy Easter dinner, and it has been pouring rain for three days straight.
My quilting machine is broken and I can't do anything about it until I talk to Nolting on either Monday or Tuesday - whenever they are back to work. Why is it that stuff always decides to break just before a long weekend?
In my forced down time I decided to join up with #The100DayProject. I have chosen a combination of two things, which doesn't seem to be against any rules. I will either do some personal stitching OR I will do yoga. The commitment is 5 - 10 minutes every day for 100 days. The official start date for 2019 was April 1, but again, starting when I did is not against any rules. If you follow me on Instagram or on Facebook I'm planning to post my activity there most days. But don't expect to see any pics of my arse up in the air as I'm doing a Downward Facing Dog.
This is the stitching project I've been working on. It's a Bonnie Hunter design Nine In The Middle from one of her books. Today when I go and stitch for 10 minutes I will actually be PRESSING for 10 minutes. If you check out that link to her site, scroll down to the quilt with the light blue background fabric and the red border...that's what I'm making. Mine is in reds/greens/yellow-browns. It will be for guests when I make up the sofa-bed in our upstairs tv room. It should look nice with the room decor.

You are so funny! I love your "To Do List" - especially the "Make chicken something - ". And I think your husband belongs to the "Kon-Maxi" club - like me - LOL - ;))
