Thursday, April 14, 2011 at 12:16PM Maybe you want to see some pretty things.
And maybe I'm getting really good at wasting time when I should be working. Work! I love you! I hate you! When I don't have work, I'm sad and mopey. When I do have work, I'm very happy, yet restless. Also, it is noon and I'm still wearing pajamas. My life = glamorous.
Anyway, it's been a month since I finished Everything's Turning Up Triangles, and thought maybe I'd waited long enough to show you pictures.
It's a big one, this quilt. And it is so well-loved already. It was on our bed for awhile - it covers a queen nicely - and then moved down to the family room, where it keeps me company while I stitch hexagon after hexagon. (Still hexagoning. Will be hexagoning for life.)
It's warm without being heavy, which I really love since I can't stand to have heavy blankets on me anymore.
My favorite part of the quilt is the label. The next photo is awful, and I just can't get a good picture of it. So just trust me on this one.
My new sewing machine (I haven't even TOLD you about my new machine, which I am so smitten with that it's ridiculous) makes letters! All on its own! All that gobbledy-gook on the binding actually says "KAM March 2011 KCMQG Challenge." I love this way of labeling a quilt, especially because my quilt labels always look...homely. This may be my new go-to.
In other news, my parents are dropping off Penny on their way to Napa tomorrow, so we will be wrangling dogs for the next week. I'm in the stage of pregnancy where we must remodel half the house NOW, so our bedroom is an utter wreck while Justin paints. I'm trying not to get too antsy about it, but I miss my bed. And not walking on Wall Street Journals as I try to get to the closet. (Sidenote: We get the Wall Street Journal for free on the weekend. It's a long story as to how that happens, but I'm afraid we're going to get it for life. We're not the kind of people who read the Wall Street Journal, as we are young with not much money, but I do enjoy the Review and weekend-ish sections. Anyway, every time I walk through the room, I see all the hoity-toity ads and reviews and I think, "If I didn't know me, I think I would hate the person who lives in this house." The end.)
