I stitched two tea towels up about six months ago. The idea was to turn them into curtains to cover the area under a sink, but the first bunch of grommets were two small for the rod I was stringing them on. Grommets are kind of a pain to remove once they're hammered in - so the finished towels sat in my UFO basket (wrapped around a package of larger grommets) for half a year. Half a year!
This weekend I get busy with a screwdriver. I pried off the smaller grommets, hammered on some gigantic ones, and. . .
. . . now the underside of this sink is curtained off and my basket is a bit emptier.
I had intended to make myself a skirt this weekend, but I didn't have the right color zipper for it, so I'll have to put that off until next weekend. I decided to use the time to tackle a bigger project from the UFO pile. I've been happy to clear out lots of little things so far, but I wanted to dive into something big. So I quilted a quilt.
I basted this a couple of months ago and it's been sitting on the top of one of the piles. A whole quilt - almost finished - mocking me.
I did simple quilting - all straight lines, all on the machine - and I got the whole thing done. I'm hoping to get the binding on this week. If I do, I'll show you the finished quilt next Monday. And I'll have a great big thing removed from the pile. Woo hoo!
Happy Monday everyone! If you've been making progress on your
2012 resolutions, please share in the comments!
Best,

ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteYou go Wendi!!! I love skirts under sinks. It's homey and easier access. The whole quilt too. Yay.
