Our house is still a disaster though.
But at least the whites in the room are more white than dirty. Next up, the walls. Piece of cake compared to all the nooks and crannies of the moldings.I also had some energy and time last night to finally start the quilting of the quilted wall hanging for the nursery. Progress is a great thing, and a motivator for more progress. I'm eager to finish it off tonight, if I am not wiped out after dinner time.
Now, I didn't do anything crazy with the quilting, just some straight(ish) lines and eventually some borders around the outside. This was really all I could handle at the moment--a wall hanging with minimal fancy stitching.
I even used painter's tape as stitching guides, so I could sneak out on having to draw chalk lines all over the quilt top. So lazy....
While I was sewing last night, I kept thinking "I'm doing this!! I'm quilting!" It was exciting, and a little funny too, that that kept playing over and over in my head. Such a dork.
I still have many other projects to tackle, like my felt mobile for the nursery, and making a coordinating pillow from the fabrics of the quilt.
Eventually I'd like to do a crib sized quilt, or even a twin, since I do have enough fabric left to do it. But as usual, time, space and energy need to align to get anything done.
Hope your weekend was productive, or more importantly, relaxing. Thanks Iz and Jeff for help in scraping and painting those stubborn moldings, and for keeping an eye on S!
I am LOVING the quilt! The fabrics are sooo cute! Wow. I wish I could sew!
ReplyDeleteYour home has such personality and character. I love all of your projects.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with the quilting! I have always wanted to do that.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is all sorts of progress going on over at your house! First moldings, now quilt...Man, you're on a role xD
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can see, both of them look fantastic!
Love how the quilt hanging turned out! It's so cute! Progress of any sort when pregnant is something to be excited about. I chuckled a bit, getting geeked out about quilting and actually the fact that it was getting done is something I would do. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the quilt - can't wait to see what else you put together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a CUTE quilt! I'm glad somebody is getting their nursery together...we're going to have to go into OVERDRIVE this weekend on our nursery :)
ReplyDeleteIt's shaping up well!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking great.
ReplyDeleteYou are a quilter!! I would chant to myself, too, over such a success.
I love the pretty felt and fabric you have for your mobile and extras. I've seen some darling felt mobiles, and I'd like to make one, too.
You're a lot farther than I am in our nursery, and my daughter is 3.5 months old!
