I have stepped away from Focus, Focus for just a moment. This last weekend was my weekend to work and what a weekend it was, after a particularly long day I just had to create. After much consideration I decided I was too tired to tackle the more complicated assembling of the 9-patch, so I pulled out my latest Jo Morton LWC quilt and viola`! Here it is....
Lizzy's Little Quilt from Jo Morton LWC #10. |
I have to admit it was nice to start and finish piecing a project in one night and I can't believe this is the only quilt that I have done from the #10 LWC, but maybe now I will be more inspired to make the others. This quilt inspired me to make another quick small quilt, so I also made a challenge quilt from Kathleen Tracy's "Small Quilt Talk" Yahoo Group.

I just couldn't help myself, it was so quick and so satisfying. I do apologize (she says in jest) and will return to Focus, Focus ASAP.
Whew, I feel better now that I have cleared my conscience..... Oops, well there might be just one more thing.....
Hand quilting, yes hand quilting is just the thing after a long day. hand quilting and a great old movie. |
Now I have confessed everything and fortunately it is raining today so I will not be distracted by my way out of control yard. Ahh, but that is a story for another day and another Focus project.
I hope you have a wonderful and productive day..... umm.......did I mention scrubbies?
My big basket of scrubbies. |
Scrubbies, these things are super popular at craft shows! |
A friend and I make these for several craft shows and fairs that we participate in. We literally sell hundreds of the handy helpers. They are fantastic for tons of chores. I use them to scrub veggies, there is one in the shower for scrubbing elbows, knees, and feet, they work fantastically on bathtub yuck, or anywhere you need a gentle but tough scrubber. I can make a dozen of these babies in a sitting. Fantastico!
Have a wonderful and soul satisfying day!
What great fun projects! You must have quite the fabric stash.
