something has happened to me. :/

I am almost ashamed to admit this......

I am just almost to the point of hating quilting by hand. YEP. I said it. I embarrass my ancestors & tell you all that I loathe the art of hand quilting now.

what to do???? This is something that has been passed down for GENERATIONS! And I've fallen out of love with it. Sure, I can machine quilt, but that's not really the same thing, is it??? Or is it?

I don't know. I just know I have 3 boxes of scrap material and 2 quilt tops to figure out what to do with. My groom says it has to go.

After I finish up Dads quilt, I am going to try to squeeze one more quilt out before I put it away for now. Maybe if I can ever afford real material & not use scraps I may like it more....but I am just so bored with it I can't stand it........promise me you won't tell Granny? LOL

tomorrow, after our day has been done I'm going to spin :) Or at least try to! I am limiting my spinning because I want it to last!

and I'm going to dye some yarn I have in hopes I can sell some of it to make Christmas money for the kiddos prezzies :) Who knows, it can't hurt, right?
