Worked on 3 UFOs Today...Huzzah!

Yes, it's me the lone quilter at it again.  Hmmm...maybe that's a name for a blog, The Lone Quilter.  I'm not actually alone, with the internet, you can be in touch with about a million of you closest friends.  You know the ones that have a deal for you if you just send them your name and address and bank account.   Or the ones that tell you you've one a million dollars just click here.  Never click-doesn't that go without saying?

Quilters are generally a group of people with some common sense, except when it comes to looking ahead to new projects and moving toward that light when they know darn well, they will be zapped.  Maybe not soon, but, a quilter is gonna buy that next project, even if they have more than a few to finish.

Such is my life in quilting.  And now, I'm resolved to do something about it.  Julie's Little Quilt Shop is now open for me to take things from, so I won't be purchasing any new fabric.  Until I've finished at least 3 projects.  Then maybe I'll reward myself.

...So you won't be USING this quilt...hmmmm

That was a line said to me by one of our newer quilters in the Northeast Quilting Friends group of which I am a part.

Quilts are "used" in so many ways.  First and to me foremost as a work of art.  Whether it adorns a bed or a wall.  Tradition and function collide in the quilt world in that way.  A quilt is to be used for warmth and snuggling is probably the traditional thinking of quilts.  To me an art quilt is also functional in that it is used to warm the heart just by it's "mere" existence on the wall.

So there, quilts are great, no matter what they are used for.  This one, may be for either purpose, it can hang on a wall or to snuggle.  I don't think the embroidery will be any worse for the wear.

Here is what you see when you walk in my house at Christmas time.  I like kitchie things...smile.
