I came across this #snail after the rain today.
I finished my #pandamonium #quilttop! Now to piece the back... #artgalleryfabrics #pandaliciousfabrics #latenightquilting #latinaquilter #makersgonnamake
It's one of those days... #burnitall
You know that #quilt for my nephew that I was on a roll with a few months ago? I put it aside and never picked it back up because, even though I'd put in hours and hours of quilting, I suddenly just wasn't feeling it. I can't do what I want to do on my machine (not enough space), and there was a lot of bunching in the quilting that was bumming me out. So last night I decided to start ripping out about 1000 yards of thread and start over with a different look (the one I'd originally considered). Questionable? Yes. Stupid? Probably. It would likely take less time to just make another quilt top from scratch. But it's also kind of cathartic (I'm just imagining I'm taking a seam ripper to Mitch McConnell & co.'s faces), and I'm already way happier and reenergized about working on the quilt again.
