Getting Back to it

      The it being sewing. Everything has worked against me getting any sewing done. If I don't have the machine running, I am just not happy. We went to the ADK in Sept. for a week which was grand, but no sewing. The big time-energy sucker is remodeling the kitchen which means tearing it all apart. I don't want to post those photos here today, but celebrate working on a quilt top. It is still not complete. The counter top comes next week, then the sink goes in, then the water hook up. I am doing dishes in the basement and in the bathroom. Lots of stuff still in boxes.
     Last year, I started Appalachian Autumn with a different take. Then it sat. I promised myself that I would not put it away until it is a top. I followed the graph paper I did a year ago, made all the units and then started putting it together. I completed all the blocks. I made the sashing, one by one as it I wanted it scrappy for texture.

     I decided the best way to sew it was to web it. That way, I would not turn things around, which worked. However, I have one block, bottom, 2nd from left side, with a turned leaf point that has to be corrected.

    Next, I added a graded color border also.

     Then I am adding the pieced border, also graded.

     I am back!! Even if the kitchen is not done and I am still disorganized- gotta sew or burst!
