Accuquilt Chimney Sweep BOB Quilt

If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not the time.

 

Hey there,

Quilting is one of my favorite chill activities and, sadly, the one I seem to make the least time for among all my crafty pursuits.  I guess it's because it takes time and effort to set up my sewing space to my exacting ergonomic specifications  and it creates a bit of disarray in my craft room for a few days.  But I'm in heaven the whole time I'm sewing, so it's worth a little bit of temporary chaos.  And I LOVE creating unique treasures for my special tribe.  It's delightful to join a tapestry of  bright happy fabric in colors that only have one job...to play well together.  When I proudly present my masterpiece to my beloved recipient,  I think of it as an enduring, adoring hug. Yes, I know a baby or a dog might leave his mark on it, but a few cycles through the washing machine (or not) will give it cozy character. 

I die cut this fun classic block with the Accuquilt Chimney Sweep Block on Board in just a couple of hours!  What's not to love about accurate piece cutting in so little time.  The pieces are much easier for me to sew together with  their uniform size.  I usually make lap or baby quilts because they go pretty fast and are within my price range to have professionally quilted. Longarm quilting is worth the cost to me because the results are so beautiful and durable...and it saves my aching back. 

My daughter is arriving from Denmark tomorrow to get her covid vaccination a few months earlier than she would in Copenhagen.  I haven't seen her for a year and a half, so I'm beyond excited.  She's an on-line therapist and will be working from here as she quarantines for a while, so I'll have some quiet time to sew.  It will be so nice to quietly work in my craft room knowing that my sweet baby, (37 years old) will be occupied quietly close buy.  I miss those days!!!

Thanks for visiting.

Go forth and dig out a UFO (unfinished object) that you've been longing to finish.
