Ms. Mess

This is an appalling mess. But I have finished the quilt top I was making and will reorganize it all as soon as I have quilted the new piece.

I had to drag my machine out of the closet where it has been for months. I never did set it up after the studio was finished. The idea was that I would be able to watch mindless TV while I quilted away, but in this arrangement my back is to the TV. Hmmm. Furniture rearranging is in my future. One doesn't always get it right the first time.

And my pinup wall is behind the door, and of no use to me when I work, so I fashioned a quick replacement. I must decide if this is a gallery or a working studio? At the rate I made this new piece, methinks it is a dawdling studio. I started it Monday and got all involved in my new books, giving only an hour or two to the making of parts before I returned to the breezy porch to read. Most of the parts, the ones on the design wall here, were not used, and it was only Wednesday that I determined that my original idea of a green quilt was the way to go. So I spent a few hours fusing green, making it available to finish the piece yesterday morning. Sigh. I hope to have it quilted later today...stay tuned.
