I really need to sew faster. And win the lottery so I can get a quilting machine and stand, so I can quilt as fast as the ideas are flowing.
Yes... there are now two more ideas in the queue. One can easily be postponed. The other... well, let's just say that I was enthusiastic enough to make a test piece to make sure it did exactly what I thought it would. And it did. I have quilt pattern! (yayayayay! arms flailing like Kermit the Frog).
But... but... I'm not done with the Massive Quilt-o'-Doom yet! *sigh* Right, right... put other ideas down. Step away from the ideas. But... it's so lovely! And it's not something I think I've ever seen before! (I'm almost afraid to post a pic, so I won't. Not yet, anyway). Right now, the newest one (the one that I made a test piece for) is called Boston Molasses Flood. With a few minor color changes it will be called Isaac's Storm, after the Galveston Hurricane of the early 1900's. Both events happened in the early 1900's, so there's one connection. All the flooding and damage is another.
I have the tutorial for the pennants almost done - except that I left the pattern piece at work, so I can't scan it in currently, which means I couldn't supply it, which I want to do... so that will have to wait for tomorrow. And I really need to get my stamp made. Yeah, I'm going to dabble my toes in the selling of patterns and finished stuffus. Soon I will jump onto the Etsy wagon (and hope I don't ever wind up on the Regretsy page. If you've never been there, GO. Really).
But boy... I really need to get a move on! Halloween pennant being worked on, September sewing project being worked on, Steampunk-ish jacket being worked on (well, I cut out the pattern today, does that count?), and MQ-o'-D being worked on. Oh, and the beginnings of a doll.
