Same Old, Same Old

The Spools quilt is 73" x 83". That's a total of 312 inches all around. I've stitched down 90" so far, so I've got 222" to go. It's going to be a long (and boring) haul.

Not Quilty

This is all the sewing I've done in the last week. It's a curtain on the porch door in the hallway of my building.  The last one was all faded, dusty and dry. Now it makes me smile whenever I walk by it.

The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning and doing normal boring junk, like cleaning out the freezer. It's amazing how much better I felt after that was done.

I also planted some pansies and wave petunias in pots and set them on the porch so I could see them from my dining room.

It's going to continue to be a non-sewing week. My office desk is piled high with paper, and that has got to go.

Low Volume, Low Key, Low Interest

For me most "low volume" quilts are so laid-back they're comatose.  There. I said it.  If you don't like it, I say (as the French do) "Tant pis."

To each his own poison. If it works for you, fine, but working with my "low volume" (or as I prefer to call them "low key") letters bores me to tears. In fact, they bore me so much, I'm not even going to fix that "a" in "Crayons."

(I sewed these two letters on the wrong seam and got "NO" instead of "ON". Sigh)

What I AM GOING TO DO, however, is have some fun with this.  I deliberately selected these fabrics because I wanted a snoozefest (Now there's a contradiction in terms!) The next version will be slightly snappier. The version after that will be somewhat more energetic, and so on, until the last version will be a real riot of over the top noise.

Heh!

I can't wait!
