see there, I'm out on our deck,
quilting away...meantime................in between time...........
my poor Pomegranates have languished in my tote bag
since then. YUP, nada quilting.....
I guess I just lost my M O J O for this project. :<(((
I visited Kathy's quilts this morning for her Slow Sunday Stitching
posting and immediately thought about Poms...
they are resting underneath a side table that
I face in our tv room...all the time...
and I have AVERTED my
👀 (eyes)
up until this morning.
Kathy stated it well...we do get discouraged (or at
least I have) once in a while...
even though this is one of my favorite quilts...
So, today I am (seriously) going to pick it up
(I can see the excitement shaking the tote bag over there
as I write this lol)
and just tell myself--
one row just one row.;}}}}
and see what happens. While I watch the Patriots Game in here....
Thanks so much, Kathy for airing out this frequent quilting problem that
seems to arise now and then...for me, at least....and cheering us on....
*****************************************************
Sunday dinner tonight will be Thom's (aka hubby, hubster, Dear One,
Mr. Wonderful) marinara sauce and spaghetti noodles...so nice and light...
and a day off cooking for me YAY!!!
(yesterday I made Bean soup for our dinner--which is a recipe with many
steps).
He claims his back (which he threw out last Tuesday night)
needs for him to move around and he has a "taste" for
marinara today...Right now he's on the heating pad and doing his computer
stuff--something about plane spotting and ADSB ...urgh!!👴
So you see, no excuses, I just need to get to that hand quilting...
RIGHT???......(stay tuned to see wha' hoppen ;}}} )
hugs, Julierose, La blageuse (slurping noodles-euse) ;)))
*Edited to add:*
Got a few rows done, anyway before my hands began hurting...
My little scissors magnet kept me company. About 1/3rd of little side triangle...
[Patriots ahead so far....;)))]
It's such a beautiful quilt! I hope you stick with it. I find keeping projects out and visible helps, maybe find Pom a pretty basket to sit my your chair?
ReplyDeleteThe weather is a LOT better, isn't it. Drier and sunny, yay. I plan to hand quilt outside on my deck, with Mo.

I see your thimble laying on your quilt project. That has been my favorite brand of thimble to use in recent years. I have to replace every so often as the rubber stretches over time and gets too loose for my finger.
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting back to your lovely pomegranates! I’m cheering for you from the sidelines!
ReplyDeleteHope your mojo returns! That looks like a pretty quilt to me, but I do know how that happens!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it's homemade marinara that you are using tonight... The time, effort and expertise has already been put into those ingredients. I can make spaghetti with even less effort by opening a jar of Prego.
ReplyDeleteHope you two feel better soon.
Hugs
You've got a busy day, sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteOne row, you can do it!
We're packing today, road trip tomorrow, early.
My projects are packed away for a few days.
Good for you Julierose! I was just as lucky as my Tom cooked today too! Sometimes we just need to put in a few stitches to enjoy a project again. I am working on getting past the basting I need to do....................but if I don't I won't be able to hand quilt anytime soon. What's a girl to do?
ReplyDeleteCute post! sometimes just picking it back up again, is all you need. Progress noted in your last pic..... yay!!
ReplyDeleteMoving forward is a good thing whether it's a little at a time or a lot!
ReplyDeleteMarinara...yummm!
Enjoy your nice dinner! I love not cooking. I get so sick of coming up with ideas. You'll get back to your pomegranates. They're not going anywhere! Enjoy them!!
ReplyDeleteHi Julieanne this is a beautiful quilt hope your mojo comes back as it will be a gorgeous finish ,take care my friend xx
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so pleased you were able to add a few more stitches, I love your Pomegranates.
ReplyDeleteYour pomegranates are lovely. I hope you're inspired to work on them again. This is a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteSometimes that's the problem: it's so lovely and we aren't quite sure what to do next, don't want to mess it up, and so we put it aside. I have a couple of these. You inspire me to haul them out for a bit of work.
I hope your mojo continues and you get this quilt finished. I want see it in all it's glory!!
ReplyDeleteOf not sleeping made you smart I would be a genius
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to see this one out again, it's a favourite. Little by little you can get there.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely quilt and the way you are quilting it adds so much interest. I hope the desire to keep on quilting will come soon.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting more done on your poms...I love that piece. Hope your hands and hubby's back is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few projects that are just waiting for me to pick them up again. I love your quilting on this one!
