Wow! It really is possible! Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in UFOs. Lately I have been quite a little bit reluctant to start something new because of all my UFOs. I was recently reminded of this by way of a fun Disney Cruise we took to Alaska with SonStitches, Dear Daughter-in-LawStitches, BabyStitches, and DaughterStitches, Dear Son-in-LawStitches, and GranddaughterStitches.
Our first port stop was Skagway, a cute little town. Rushin' Tailor is a quilt shop in Skagway. I think it was three years ago when we last visited Alaska and I found this shop. So last week I walked from the ship to the downtown area and browsed around in this very nice quilt shop. And I found a really nice kit that was a depiction of a whale tale (complete with beads) just before it returns to the water. Yup, I had bought that kit three years ago and yes, you guessed it--I haven't completed (or even started) the kit yet. :-(
This time I found another cute little kit and it looked kind of fun for hand sewing. It included everything I needed, including two kinds of thread, a needle, hexie papers, felt, and ten squares of fabric, so that I could have a choice of which seven to use. They even gave me two straight pins to use! I had to supply a scissors, but that was it!
It didn't take me very long to baste the hexies, hand sew them together, sew them onto the felt, trim the felt, and finish it off with blanket stitch. And now I have a nice little mug mat, or whatever it wants to be called!
