miss strawberry clamoring to get out! I was a little surprised to say the least. I know that I have had her in there for several days, and that she hasn't seen the light of day in that time. But I was NOT expecting a protest for this sequestration!
SOOOO - I took her out of her dark hiding place and proceeded to...
...unpin her from her awful, terrible, no good multi-pieced backing and batting! She promptly thanked me for my kindness. I then proceeded to piece the new green pin dot backing so that she would not have to lie around naked! I just couldn't have that.
I promptly pin basted her to her new backing with fresh, unpieced batting! It took a while, but she is all ready to go. I will be quilting her within the next couple of weeks!
Even the strawberry fairies around her outer boarder are smiling in anticipation of completion! I am still questioning what type of quilting I will do. I am still learning how to use my home machine for quilting, so it won't be anything fancy.
OK...truthfully...I just want her done! Yes, I am part of the group of people that have NO patience. I want to move on to a new project, and she is holding me from going forward. Would you believe that I made up the whole thing about - whimpering? My new friend Kim has set me in a storey telling mode, and I want to thank her for that!
I will be 'unpluging' for a bit. My family and I need to regroup and refresh...so I will not have any new entries for a few days. Feel free to re-read some of your favorite postings... .. read my profile.....just make sure to check back for the new adventures of 'A Quilter's Mission'!!!

It warms the cockles of this li'l olde storyteller's heart to read your story about 'Miss Strawberry', Vicki.......life is all the better with a little embellishment!! Kim ;)
Enjoy your time of rest. We all need that : )
You deserve your well-earned rest. When I hear whimpering from my unfinished work, I just go into denial! xCathy
Oh, I'm glad that it was just your quilt whimpering and not a kitty cat or something! LOL...you had me going there! Enjoy your respite!
I felt myself give a huge sigh of relief to know I'm not the only one who sometimes just want to move on from a project!! "Miss Strawberry" is a nice piece of work though.
What a sweet story;-) It made me smile. I better not go too close to my sewing cupboards, there will be lots of screaming and crying from within. I have so many UFO's. I wish I was able to finish one project before starting another. Good for you!! Have some much deserved time to yourself.
