My quilty mojo has gone away. I’ve not been able to do anything in this crafty front the last several weeks and maybe months… My list has become a reminder of what I’ve got waiting for me but no current inspiration to do any of these.

Instead I have been gardening because the weather is getting so nice and all the plants are blooming. I’ve also been knitting more. And that’s all I’ve had time to do.

#1 – Quilt something

I plan to get the backs done for all my tops ready to be quilted.

#2. Alaska – I posted about this project here and here and here. Just a few more blocks and then it will be ready to put together.

#3 – Mountain Mist – continue working on this

Still working on block 2

#4 – Ornaments – all of these have been blanket stitched and are ready for the next step…

The next step is to embroider decorative stitches around. I need to go through my book of stitches and pull out some fancy thread and play with the various ones. Then pick what I like. This takes thought and having all my options with me so it feels a bit more involved than what I’m able to do right now.

#5-Raining Cats and Dogs- this is an old hand quilting project that I set aside. I am adding this on this list to remember it and figure out how to get this done. Ideally It’s one of those projects I spend a little time on each day but I have a lot of those now and so need to think about my game plan.

#6- sashiko… I have all those sashiko things I bought last year and I want to play with these one day.

#7-Kimberbell – machine embroidery. I picked this up again as I was trying to make space to walk in my sewing room.

Happy quilting!
