Other fabric related things from October: I gave a colorwash class, sold 3 finished colorwash wallhangings, cut 42 colorwash kits and sold all of them, started another quilt (big X blocks), started another colorwash wallhanging that is in the tweaking stage, and worked on a small project for a friend.
Now in November I really am going to finish some quilts. I am going to clean off the long arm table and get busy. My plan (that probably isn't going to work) is to finish 2 quilts for every one top I finish. Sending 3 quilts home with my cousin and selling three gives me space to store 6 new finishes. If I didn't do my own quilting I could make twice as many quilts, maybe three times as many.

Even though I bought a long arm last September, I have a backlog of quilt tops hanging out to be done. I don't think I could let my quilting be done by someone else as I change up the quilting as I go along.
Your two finishes are fabulous. It's good to have goals, even if they are real challenges. I find they help keep me focused.
You had a productive October and November is doable for you! It is great you have sold so much! Sold all 42 kits; that is fantastic! I posted today my goal is to quilt the tea towel quilt and make a couple of baby quilt tops. We'll see how that goes for me! LOL!!
but isn't it satisfying to do your own quilting and say you did the whole thing? I know it is too me and I'm just to budget conscience to pay someone else to do the quilting for me. Love your quilts and I think the larger will look fine as is and with no border unless a narrow one with some of the fabric that was used maybe
I understand your need to quilt some tops. I have several that need to be quilted too but I would much rather piece a top than quilt it. We are all so grateful for the inspiration you give us when you work on another quilt top. Maybe you should sell more tops ?
You have accomplished much in Oct. Created so much beauty and shared with so many to enjoy. Thank you.
What a wonderful surprise, to know that one of your colourwash creations will be somewhere here in New Zealand. I hope we get to see it quilted and bound.
