Yup, I did!
I found it!
My motivation.
My inspiration.
My desire to create.
My joy of sewing.
YAY!
It's been a few weeks since I felt like doing much of anything. Having company, dealing with extra stresses at work, having a few serious issues on my mind, the inability to relax when I get home...and, of course, the finales of DWTS and American Idol!...all of those have played a part in my not getting much of anything done. Ya know?
But, first! And, I won't bore you with the long story. The short version is this...I am in need of curtains and was really pushing myself to make them using the fabric I had purchased 4 years ago, which isn't nearly as fun as I thought it was back then...and so I had a fabulous idea to use my Kashmir III fabric...started putting panels together...decided that they were much too pretty to use as curtains. I know! It didn't take long for me to think that they would make better table/dresser runners and...a quilt! For me! Like I need another quilt. Yet, I have always planned to make a quilt for myself with this fabric.
Kashmir III is the fabric I used to make this quilt.
So. Here are the panels for my quilt. If you were to rotate the photo 90 degrees, you could easily see how these would make fabulous curtain panels! Yes?
I am at the point of deciding what to use for the sashing and borders. Perhaps a trip to my lqs is in order. And, I have 3 more panels with the reds/golds/blacks of the Kashmir III
collection that I'll make the runners with.
I still have the project waiting that I mentioned a few weeks ago. With the Curio fabric collection. Everything is together and waiting on my cutting table. And, you know, Snow Days is still waiting! Pure bliss, I tell ya. To think about working on those 2 projects.
So. That's it. I am off and running on this Saturday morning! I hope to have more to show you by the end of the weekend.
Have a great day!

Beautiful blocks and fabrics, can't wait to see your finished quilt. I need to get moving too, I finally moved my machine to the large table so I can finish my larger quilts.

Yes they would make wonderful curtains and I don't agree they woudl be "much to pretty" for curtains - Curtains are something that you will look at everyday so why not have Pretty and Enjoy? So glad you found your mojo - now if i could find mine and talk it into sticking around for a good long while....
I love your new header!! Your quilt blocks are lovely...can't wait for the finish. It's good to hear from you. I've been so bad about blogging...but work is crazy! Have a great weekend!
Hugs!!!

Oh so glad!!! They look Great!! It is always so scary when all of a sudden it feels like all of the creativity has gone. So glad you found your Mojo!!!
Yay! It feels great when your mojo returns. Those fabrics are pretty. Looking forward to the finish.
Looking good glad you got back in the groove of things! I'm sure the quilting will help you to relax a bit!
