Projects

I had a big project over the last couple weeks that I had to keep hush-hush.
Since Egypt visits my blog, I had to keep it a big secret (trying to use the cartoon voices...).

My big project morphed into a smaller project for MBB.
My prince charming took about two and a half hours to build me a quilt holder.
It's not a quilt holder to display quilts, but one that holds it taunt so that I can pin it before sewing.
This is the size for a baby quilt, but I think it will work for bigger ones by pining a section at a time.

LittleM is now the proud owner of her baby quilt.
And now that it isn't a secret anymore, I can share her gift with all of you too.
The quilt design is Log Cabin. I decided not to make all of the squares the same colors because I wanted different color stripes to run through the quilt.

I honored the tradition (I don't always) of keeping red in the center of each square.
I tried to honor the tradition of putting in one flaw into every quick for good luck.
My realization: I don't need to try to put in a flaw, one or two or three will make their way into it simply because, it is a work of love.

Namaste.

So that was your big project! I wondered what was up with your vague posts. What a great quilt stand! That'll come in very handy I'm sure.
