The colour and value sequencing of the scrappy wall hanging is slowly coming together; but the project has been put away for the upcoming work week.  Now I'm working on our taxes, blech.

ScrappyRectangles

I've cut rectangles until my wrists begged for mercy to make a scrap quilt wall hanging based on one in the book "Successful Scrap Quilts".

Here is the book

Successful Scrap Quilts from Simple Rectangles

Many, many rectangles.  For my planned 36" x 36" quilt I will need 288 rectangles of 3.5" x 2" each. Yikes!

And finally, a shot of my WIP wall and one half of the yarn stash. I should really stop buying yarn and fabric. Yeah, right.

Well, truth be told, yesterday was quilt day too.

Sample made for workshop, started December 2006, completed March 2007.  Background is commercial hand-dyed.  This is hand stitched with embroidery floss and metallic threads.  Size is 18 inches by 18 inches.

Shhh, I'm at the office. Should be working instead of playing. Don't let the boss catch me.  Oh, wait, I AM the boss ...

Right. Note to self. "Must post more often. Must par-ti-ci-pate."

1. discuss the latest time sink known as the evaluation of digital junk drawer, er, I mean, research analysis software for the Mac (ie DEVONthink, Curio, MacJournal, SoHoNotes, Process2 etc)
2. knitting content : Mystery Stole2 , lace in general, stash shame
3. quilting content : ocean waves quilt, plans for Dad's art quilt, stash shame

There. I've put these thoughts in a ToDo list so I can forget about them without guilt, as per my usual habit. {snark}
