ponder...

Contemplating a start of a new project... I went a little crazy buying up a nice collection of Kona solids.... It's so easy to do, right? Now I have this large pile of loveliness, and I am not sure what I want to make with them.... Waiting for inspiration to strike... or a good challenge... 
Any thoughts?  Challenge me?
You know I have a hard time turning down a challenge!


Binding is cut and attached to my cousins quilt... So now I Have that for my evening hand work. I have nearly all my sleeves done, and now i have to make quilt labels for everything...  They won't take me to long to do, so I'm feeling slightly less stressed out.  Although the packing for the 7 week road trip is still a bit daunting! Once I can start putting things in the bins, and suitcases, I will feel more comfortable...  I am so excited to hit the road! I do love a good road trip....
the packing, not so much..
How about you?
Packing, love it or hate it?

  2. Those are so not the solids I would have bought. They look like a fantastic summer overrun English garden bed of flowers. Have fun packing, remember that quilters like to shop so take loads of quilts and such and few clothes.

  3. I think you should attempt a log cabin since you have lots of variations in lights and darks. I know you could do something special with that traditional pattern.

  6. That's a long stretch to pack for. I hate packing too. I'm ok with what I call the peripherals. Books, mags, electronic devices, food...but I always put off the clothing part until the last minute. Good luck.

  10. Challenge? How about "Being Here" as a theme? Surroundings often inspire artists. You will be back in the Midwest again, so you could simply soak it up and see what pops into that brain of yours....maybe being with friends and family, old memories or making some new ones! Have one terrific time!!!

  11. Ahh - Kona solids, a very large part of my stash. But where are the blues - surely you could sneak in a bit of turquoise or cobalt. Cheers, Elizabeth White

  12. Such a lovely garden full of colors! I always put off packing to the end whereas my husband has his luggage lacked and closed 2 days ahead of time. Guess who forgets the most? Not getting to WI until late August but it's always the place I think of when it comes to summer vacation. Looking forward to your road trip bulletins!
