I am back into sewing and quilting! It feels so GOOD to be creating. When I create for others, it takes the focus off of me and puts it out there in a positive way. :)
I am sewing a baby quilt for a co-worker. (Yes, the baby is almost a month old! LOL) But, she is about to come back from maternity leave in June. So, what's a quilter to do???? Wait until the last minute to start the creative process.
For my baby quilt, I needed 140 4 1/2 inch half-squares. How do I do that quickly?? (Because who WANTS to spend all morning on making just the half-squares?????) The STRIP TUBE RULER to the rescue! I made all of my half-square in NO time. Then I chain sewed them and VIOLA.....I had all of my blocks that I needed.
Quilters are all about saving time and being more efficient with our time. As I get back into the swing of things, I will be posting more time saving short cuts and other tidbits. I can't wait to get back into reading other quilting blogs and exchanging ideas.
Keep on keeping on,
Monkey Dog
