Last time I posted there was a threat of snow, and now my daffodils have already come and gone. April is a blur, mostly because of a couple big work projects (a very good thing), and also due to several babies (both newly-arrived and impending), special occasions, and an unexpected frenzy of spring cleaning that overtook me and unearthed some long-forgotten tops that just need to get out of my house. It got me juggling again, which, given my limited attention span, is my only hope of finishing anything.
First WIP of the week: a piece made several years ago from an Urban Indigo charm pack.
I rediscovered the beginnings of a top, along with a yard of coordinating yellow print and a half-yard of blue. Rather than use the prints as backing as I originally intended (I think -- who knows what I was planning, I think it was made during GeorgeW's first term), I repurposed the yellow for a border and used a cozy flannel on the back. Now it's a cute little lap quilt, ready to be bound.
It will soon find its way to a new home on my next trip back to Michigan.
So what's better than converting a UFO into a WIP and actually finishing it? Being able to give it away!
