Hocus Pocus...Focus

With a little magic and a lot of focus on my part....I finally can say the bear is done. I was making a bear for a friend and it has been over a year since she gave me the fabric. She is very patient!
There has been much procrastinating on my part.






 

quilt from 2020

Honestly as I sit here looking around my quilting room, I have not accomplished very much at all this week. Of course to get anything done at home...you must stay home! Last week I taught a class at guild, new kitchen counter top installed, curled in a bonspiel on the weekend and this week has been more curling, sewing with friends, a day of shovelling snow, fixed a sewing machine for someone and finally Friday supper out at a friend's house. That is quite the list, guess I was busy after all.

The top of the to-do list is to get my hexie quilt on the hand quilting frame, after that I have strip sets all ready for the next quilt I am teaching in the Spring and should start putting that together. I have a small quilt from 2020 that needs a backing and also some batting pieces sewn together for it. The next in line would be a quilt for a friend that needs a binding to finish it. I may have to do some finessing to the sandwich in order to accomplish that. So many things to do and seeming not enough time to do it. More hocus pocus required.

A guild member's mom pieced it and now it needs some TLC to complete it. Of course with it being hand stitched it deserves to be hand quilted!

My apologies for the weird spacing, still learning how to place the pictures without moving my words all around! Have a great week!
