I swear, housecleaning has taken over my life. Â Today the carpet cleaners are coming…and I won’t be able to be on the computer so my house cleaning is taking me upstairs. Â I have squeezed in a few 20 minute segments to sew and managed to get all of the star blocks done for the Patchwork Times, Making Ends Meet quilt.
So far I am loving the look. Â I didn’t know with that busy background print…I thought it might be too busy.
I have gotten a couple comments wondering about my house cleaning. Â It’s the kind of cleaning that I am going through EVERY item in the house. Â All the cupboards, all the closets…everything. Â I try to do it every spring and in the fall I do a milder version. Â All the windows are getting washed…total house clean. Â My Goodwill box is growing…I am doing a HUGE simplifying spree. Â It’s so refreshing.
One thing that you should probably know about me is that when I do something…I do it BIG. Â I do it whole heartedly…I do it completely. Â That’s what this housecleaning has become!
To see what others are working on head on over to Patchwork Times.
oh….If you didn’t sign up yesterday, take time to sign up for my giveaway….I’ll pick a winner on Thursday.
Jo, your project looks great with that cheddar. I wondered about your busy background, but it doesn’t seem to to conflict with your other fabrics them being much darker in color. I’m looking forward to seeing it complete. I mentioned to Judy about a Mr. Linky for this project… Sandi
I think the busy background is wonderful. I love the cheddar with the other fabrics.
I love your blocks. I think the background fabric will be fine since you have choseb strong colors for the main star part.
I sure need to do a a HUGE simplifying spree around here!! The children’s clothes are multiplying left and right as they need both seasons for the changing weather lately – I’ve got long sleeves and shorts in a stack waist deep in the corner. :/ Gotta get those put up and away soon!
And with hubby now on the search for a new job – I really gotta get busy cleaning if we *might* be putting the home up for sale in the future…
Love your blocks and the fabrics you choose. Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Love your blocks. Is that good enough to get you to come do the same kind of cleaning here? Please……..
That is going to be a gorgeous quilt! Good luck with the cleaning -and when you get done … wanna come this way LOL?
I think your block looks great…look forward to seeing them up on the design wall :)
