10 Days, 1 Project
Ten days left in the year, and I need one more finished project. I have two table runner tops ready, so how could I make them take longer? By stippling! The first top doesn't quite lay as flat as I would like it to, which made other machine-quilting methods a poor idea. To add to the fun, I'm using polyester batting, which is a bit fluffier than the blends I've been using for free-motion quilting. Not a high loft--not even I am crazy enough for that. So far, it's going well, but as you can see, I have a LONG way to go. Yep, good choice. There is a back-up plan: Another 1-row scarf. I always try to keep a few gifts on-hand because no matter HOW carefully I plan, I always need one or two extra gifts, and the last scarf I finished has been gifted and is already being worn. So, there is a fast, fairly mindless project for plan B. And, of course, what I want to do is plan C, which is start an entirely NEW project ...
