What's going on?

Does anybody else remember that Marvin Gaye song, "What's going on?" It has no bearing, actually, on what I'm about to write, but I typed that into the title box and I suddenly heard him singing in my head. He still is, as a matter of fact...

Anyway! First of all, welcome to my new followers! I gained four over the last couple of days and I'm very excited. Thanks for joining me here in the sweet spot. :)

As for what's going on: well I didn't quilt last night because BSP called me at work and asked if I wanted to go and see The Soloist. Because I've been sewing and quilting practically non-stop since Friday night, I thought that in the interests of our marriage, I should take a break. ;) Well worth it - we both loved the film.

Tonight I did a bit more quilting, but I can feel one my headaches beginning to build, so I must go to bed. This of course, means that it's more than likely that I won't finish this one for the Spring to Finish challenge. *domage*

However, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek of what I'm working on. (sorry about the colour - I had to darken the picture so you could see the quilting - curse indoor pictures!)

Remember when I said the other day that I quilted "seemingly thousands of flowers". I realized tonight as I quilted another 50 or so - that by the time I'm done this quilt, there may very well be a 1,000 free motion flowers. (please excuse my threads not being clipped.)

Plus, a wholllllllleee lot of parallel lines. Another quilt top I've got in th can that I was going to work on next was going to have lots of flowers too, but maybe I'll take a break from flowers for a little while after this one. (!)

I'm going to wrap this one up, however, and begin on the commission quilt very soon.

But now, I must go to bed and rest my sore head.

Talk to you soon!

  3. ;;waves;; I followed you over here from Live Journal, and couldn't resist following this blog. I love the enthusiasm you have for quilting, and reading your blog helped renew my own enthusiasm. I've actually consistently worked on quilt tops for the last few days, and started keeping my own blog again. So, thank you!! :>
