Too Many Distractions!

Green Tea and Sweet Beans by Jen Kingwell

Why is that whenever I’m under the crunch for a looming deadline I can find all sorts of things to distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing?!? Although I did begin the quilting on the pineapple quilt I had some tension issues that had to be resolved and lost steam on it quickly. My deadline for having the quilting done is this Sunday – yes two days from now – YIKES! So now I’m under the gun… and therefore must work on things that are totally not a priority – WHAT?!? Now that I’ve written that down it totally doesn’t make sense (let me assure you that it didn’t make any sense inside my head in the first place either, ha, ha)

Although I had stated in my last post that it had been set aside, I obviously hadn’t set it far enough aside to be out of sight/out of mind. Silly me. So I’m sharing some photos of my recent progress (distractions) on the lovely Green Tea and Sweet Beans as proof of my squirrelly behaviour. It is such a blissfully fun project to work on and it makes such a delightful studio mess, with all that digging through scraps for the perfect piece of loveliness to add the perfect touch to each perfect block. Hmmmm, perfect happiness. Is it any wonder that I’m not getting that longarm quilting done.

As always, happy stitching, carol

    Awesome fussy cutting on your blocks. They are all fun, fun, fun! No wonder they are keeping you away from that long-arm! Maybe we need to find you a chain…. 😉 xoxo

    Thanks for the great comment Tammy! This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to recent distractions, but I’m happy to say that as of yesterday, the quilting is complete on the wedding quilt :o)
