Little Ladies of Progress

Here is one of my favorite quilting books, which was also a gift from a special friend.

Here is the inspiration for my latest project.

One cute little house.

Sweet little lady with embroidery embellishments.

Can you see the tiny bead necklace on this gal?

Plus she has an adorable apron!


I have put feet to the words I often use:

You cannot base your life on feelings,

you must base your life on Truth!

I do not feel like doing anything.

But I know that I truly do enjoy quilting.

So I am doing some quilting.

I am also focusing on filling my mind with God's Truths.

So my little ladies are Little Ladies of Progress.

Much of my quilting and naming of quilts reflect my life's journey,

and here again; it is so.

What is up?

Been in a real quilting funk lately. I have spent quite a bit of time curled up under this quilt, birds and swirls. I have been sewing these little ladies and houses out of bliss leftovers, of course it is bliss. I have the previous post quilt, fandango, to finish quilting--but it is just so difficult to quilt something that big on my little machine (whine whine whine).
Also have strips ready for another jams and jelly quilt but I need a tone on tone to really get started on that one.
So I would guess that I have almost a dozen projects.
(pause while I count)
Maybe not as bad as I assumed, let's see:

(5)Three tops that need backs and quilting, nope ...make that four...nope, 5!
1. The twin to mom's quilt
2. Birds with blue n red on white
3. The retro 50's fabric quilt
4. The black and white passport leftovers dutch something or other pattern
5. Jake's turquoise and black quilt (has been sitting untouched in a box for 12 months)

(1)Then I have Fandango--which is in the process of being quilted.

(3)And then there are projects that have been started and are in various stages:
1. Breakfast at Tiffany's. Top is close to finished
2. Two Square - aqua and lime+ greens
3. The back yard garden project - greens and browns. Funny I have all of the difficult squares finished, just held up on the east ones!

(4)And then there are pieces and parts:
1. Bliss wonky stars
2. Bliss applique
3. Bliss ladies and houses hanging on the wall
4. Bias spider web squares - an understandable slow project--no rush here

(1)Projects cut out:
1. Perfect Blue quilt ( my birthday gift to myself 2009- cut since then too)

Ok worse! 14
And there are also a few projects that are so small at this point that I am not counting them. :)

I did make a beautiful baby quilt for one of Bruce's co-workers new baby.
Maybe that is the key, I just prefer to work toward something.
Maybe so.
