July was a productive month, almost frighteningly so. It’s just not normal for me.

This past month, I ordered some solids for the Farmer’s Wife Sampler. I still haven’t cut into them, but I’m planning on starting soon. I took a break for Fun with Free Piecing, which I’ve decided ought to be called Cheating on the Farmer’s Wife, Part Deux. It seems that every time I take a break from FWS, I piece something awfully ‘modern’.
And then I quilt the hell out of it. Seriously. I mean, Cheating on the Farmer’s Wife (henceforth known as CotFW, Round 1) took forty hours to quilt. I’m approaching the twenty hour mark on CotFW, Part Deux. >.<
And, if that weren’t enough, I’ve already decided on my next project, and started cutting charms for it, and to tame my scraps. My scraps are out of control, and I refuse to ignore the problem any more! I’m being ruthless with myself, and ‘earning’ quilting time by spending some quality time with a bucket of scraps, a rotary cutter, and a mat.
No pictures here, but I even dragged the Double Wedding Ring out of hiding and started piecing. I have a mental image of myself in a Scarlett O’Hara pose, but instead of clutching the soil of Tara, I’m holding a pair of Ginger shears. Cue a Southern accent so thick you’d think I’d walked off the set of True Blood – “I will not let my projects lapse again!”
*snorts*
Yeah, right.
That’ll last as long as my vacation does.

Nice collection of makes! I popped in from Lily’s quilts, to see what you had been doing. What a fun time you have had!Keep on cheating!
Cheating has been fun, though the Farmer’s Wife is calling me back. I’d really like to get that top done very soon.
I like some of the free piecing you have been doing. If your getting any quilting done it is not cheating. Just have fun.
I’m definitely having fun 🙂 I just find it funny that I’ve turned toward a completely different aesthetic, after a year working on the Farmer’s Wife.
Your FwFP looks amazing. The grey background makes the colors lovely.
Thank you! It’s been fun working on this particular quilt. I look forward to finishing it this weekend.
Gosh you’ve been so busy! It’s all all looking great 🙂
I’m taking advantage of having most of a week off! My goal is have a quilt done by Sunday evening.
