Looky here:
I am cleaning off my sewing room table in preparation for a NEW PROJECT! :)
On top of that table is a very large, very dirty cutting mat. It has seen better days, and I would get another one if I could find one. It is splotched with all kinds of paint. It is warped, having been subjected to irons, heat guns, and heat presses. It has dust-encrusted rectangles of tape residue all over it (though how it ever got dusty under the pile of crap that's usually piled on top is something of a mystery). I've squirted it down and scraped off the paint and goo. It's got to be clean, because my new project is white.
This new project is going to be a quilt for Granddaughter #3. I've hand-embroidered 20 very large blocks with hearts and flowers. I want to quilt it by hand (if my hand will hold up to the job), but I don't want to set up a big quilt frame, so I'm going to try to quilt it in blocks and then set them together. Somehow.
Next week, we're going on a long road trip. This will be my travel project. I'll put together a few "quilt sandwiches" before we leave, and quilt them in the car. The quilting ought to be easy, as the blocks are already stamped with a pretty quilting design. It's the putting them together that worries me.
Yes, I've watched videos.
Wish me luck.
