Slacker

Ok, I do apoligize tremendously. What few followers I have, have probably already forgotten about me. Here it is almost Halloween time again, and nothing has been posted since the last Halloween contest picture. Slacker. I really want to get to sewing again, but I think my super pet Boo Boo, is keeping me from it. I am going to play with Boo Boo less and try to get some things done. (Dont quote me on that). I have all these wonderful things in my head I want to create, I spend my breaks at work, reading sewing forums, learning new things, and reading what everyone else is doing, and yet, here I sit, doing nothing with my sewing hobby. My sewing room runneth over with fabulous patterns, and fabric, (although not organized at all), but yet, nothing. But as I mentioned, it is almost Halloween time again, however, our department has gone with the theme of Circus, I believe, so I do have a clown costume I made a few years back, so it wouldnt be something new sewn, but something not shown yet on here! So look for that in the future. If anyone know of any way to get me more motivated to do something, be sure and post a comment.

Guitar Quilt

This is not quite a quilt yet, its just a quilt top. Started maybe 2 years ago, then stopped. (Sewing people tend to start new projects before others are done) Then picked it up again to finish it. There was less that 30 min of applique yet to be done. Why I had not finished that small part, I will never know. Anyway, Gary wanted to make it into a front of a sound board, something musicians used to absorb sound.?? I guess the basement does not absorb sound. Anyway, its basically a quilt top. I dont know if he will put in into a "soundboard" or not someday. I also don't know if that is the correct term for what it is. LOL

I found the pattern in a book, and I wanted to make it manly colors, and design it cool, so I picked out the black and white fabrics for the guitars, and red for the background. I thought it all kind of popped together. I scanned my fabrics into the computer, then the design, and planned out which fabrics looked good where. When I thought it looked good, I started making it. I think it turned out very well. Much better that the original picture that came with the pattern, greens, orange, and blues.
