a bit of beading

Here’s a peek at my California Beadin’ piece for my guild’s spring challenge. If the dates for turning pieces in don’t overlap I might enter it into the California-themed exhibit at the new IQA show in Long Beach.

I’ve also been working on my Quilt Every Day Rail Fence quilt, although (confession time) not quite every day. I can’t believe I forgot and missed two whole days out of the first week. I did some extra tonight to make up for it though, and I can see a lot of progress. I wonder which quilt top I’m going to practice my free motion quilting on first this summer? I’m glad to see that quite a few of you are also making good progress on your 10 minutes of quilting a day. It takes just 3 weeks to make a new habit. This could mean the end of the ever-growing UFO stack and the beginning of lots of finished quilts!

    I missed 2 days this week, too, but each of the other days were far more than 10 minutes each so I’m not worrying about it! =-) I made up for it today, too…about 2 hours worth… =-)

    I missed a day too, but more than made up for it with a last minute baby quilt for daughter’s baby shower. Thanks for this challenge. I hope to get lots done this month!

    I have been quilting *almost* every day. It’s not always on my own projects, but that’s what I want as a goal — to do at least a little on my own stuff every day.

    That glimpse is very tantalizing!

    That is really pretty!
    I’ve been quilting every day. Except yesterday, I had a migraine. But I set up my quilting frame, does that count?

    Rian,
    You bet that counts! Tomorrow I’m going to spend my 10 minutes pressing all the blocks I’ve been sewing together.
    Take care of yourself, that’s the most important thing. I don’t think I would have even bothered to set up the frame in the middle of a migraine.
