I made the Target run! I successfully did delicate laundry on the one day it didn't rain. It's been so long since I did delicate laundry that there was a turtleneck sweater in there. o_O
This week I have been mainly watching videos about quilting, and spending a bit too much time on Reddit talking about quilting, and not much actual quilting. I did come up with a clever plan for how to make the tutorial quilt out of materials I have on hand. It will be hideous if I actually follow through. Luckily it will likely take me so long that I'll have time to buy some nice soothing white for sashing (the strips separating the blocks). My stated plan is to complete at least one quilt before it's cold enough to need it.
Today I spent about 45 minutes cutting out pieces for the first block of the tutorial quilt. I almost have enough room to watch the videos on my laptop for reference while I work. I'm learning to cut straight lines without wobbling - it's going to take a lot of practice.
Events! Bennington (VT) has a "Quiltfest" in September that looks like fun. I plan to go and see other people's work, I won't have anything ready to contribute myself this year. Perhaps I will find the mythical local quilting guild and join up.
