A Messy Business
This neat little stack of fabric…
Has become this…
My studio is a disaster. There are fabric scraps all over, pieces on the floor, freezer paper rolls, pins and markers everywhere. Believe it or not this is what I call designing. It’s a state of controlled chaos. I do it all at once; picking fabric, drawing the designs, writing the pattern, prepping the appliqué, choosing embellishments, and on and on. Really, sometimes I think I’m nuts.
The good news is this…
By the time this little mess gets into your hands it will look a whole lot better and I’ll have a clean studio.
Today I’m going to watch Julia and Julia on DVD and work my way through this quilt. Block by block, piece by piece. I’m 2/3rds done!
Have a great Sunday everyone. Don’t tell me the ending of the movie, but have you seen it and did you like it?
Hugs,
Anne

Wow – that is exactly what my sewing room looks like when I get into design mode! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one! And I have seen Julia and Julia and LOVED it!!!! Can’t wait to see what comes out of your design stage next! Thanks!

I hope this mess will turn into the next block of the month? Can’t wait to see what comes of it.
Haven’t seen Julia and Julia.

Did you know that comments made on your website are put on google search? I put my name in regular google search and it
lists all of the sites that I have made comments on. I have dropped my full name as a result of this.

Have seen it…loved it! I am not a big MS fan but she nailed JC.

Love Julia & Julia – Meryl Streep is such a delight, and so very versatile . . . if you compare her in “The Devil Wears Prada” to “Julia & Julia” – you have to wonder why more lighthearted movies such as this aren’t nominated for Oscars? Even though I didn’t get the “cooking gene” (only the sewing, organizing, cleaning, animal-loving genes), it made me want to cook something!
But I promise you’ll be watching the movie more than sewing!

Julie and Julia was wonderful. I bought it and my daughters (grown) would not go to the movie with me so I watched it myself and then my 90 year old ex mother in law wanted to watch it with her girls from Florida. Loved it and laughed and laughed.
Have you seen UP? It is wonderful. It is a must see!

Oh Anne – I hope you loved the movie – what a marvelous love story! Haven’t we all, at one time, dreamed of living in Paris with the man of our dreams? Those two were so in love! And big props to Julie for pursuing her dream!

Lovely mess! Loved the movie! I now own it. When you design a pattern do you think of the way it will be quilted in the end. I am finishing a stitchery bed sized quilt. Only now am I thinking of how to have it quilted and I have not got a clue! Any suggestions?

What a beautiful mess! The fabrics are gorgeous. Love the box you have your fat quarters in.
Julie and Julia made me want to learn to cook. That’s saying a lot. Not that I have been practicing much since.
