Let me just throw this one out there for your amusement...
I am not the brightest crayon in the box, the sharpest tool in the shed, the brightest bulb in the fixture.
There, I've said it.
I was so excited at the prospect of participating in Saturday Morning Sew In, that I neglected to pay closer attention to the exact DATE of said event. Please refer back to the second line of this post before I go any further. I'll wait while you catch your breath from all that snickering.
Sigh...so, this now makes TWO online get-togethers I've utterly flunked: Friday Night Sew In (where I fell asleep) and Saturday Morning Sew In (on the wrong date). Well, at least the Creator ensures there's plenty of fodder for the old blog, right...and they say He has no sense of humor!
Anyway, in my exuberance to participate, I managed to get this finished and I'm not backing down now! Let 'em kick me out for being a ninny, but at least I'm no slacker!
The whole premise is to sew in the morning, eschewing activities more responsible folks would take care of first like laundry or loading the dishwasher. Sissies! I say quilt now, wash later and that's exactly what happened. Last weekend. What a moron!
Anyway, my quilt 'Pretty Maids Row by Row' is all done and I love it. The strips came from one of those Moda scrap bags. Please don't ask which fabric line because I have no freakin' clue. I can't even get the date right...you expect me to remember the name of the line, too?! I wouldn't take those odds to Vegas, baby. I did an allover quilting motif of flowers of various sizes. I am quite proud. And bright, too as it turns out.
Happy quilting, y'all!

You crack me up so much it's not funny....wait a minute, actually yes, yes it is! :D:D:D
ReplyDeletePretty quilt! I also love the flower quilting. Very good. I envy you your long arm machine access. And, no, you are probably not stupid, but a distracted working mother. Although, as the old rabbit says, other than "What's up Doc?" I say, "What a maroon!" (Just kidding).
ReplyDelete*quiet chuckle*....There is no down side to this. You didn't let anyone else who was counting on you down AND you got some sewing done. Give yourself a break. I haven't sewed a stitch. I did cut some stuff out. Then I went outside and played with the dogs! Apparently, I am still procrastinating.
