Q.A.D.D.

Every so often I have a recurrence of this condition called Quilters Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is what it looks like when I'm in the throes of the affliction.

Fusing a fabric collage and attempting to  channel Laura Wasilowski.
English paper piecing
Hand piecing.
Embellishing with embroidery.
Needle turn applique, last block!
Hand quilting.
All fueled by an unhealthy dose of "death by chocolate", aka hubby's birthday cake.

In my defense, variety is the spice of life!
Happy stitching, in whatever form it is.
Janet

    Ah ha, Janet..."Variety is the spice of life' is my motto.....or so it seems when it comes to my quilting too! I can not have just 1 or 2 or 4 projects going at once.
    Happy Birthday to your Hubby!
    Love every one of your projects, but those fussy cut hexagons ore really gorgeous!! Congratulations on the last flower block!
    Enjoy the chocolate!!!

    Great, you mean to tell me Im not normal! LOL! Variety is highly overrated when it comes to food, chocolate is sufficient! Happy quilting, Sue SA

    Dear Janet,
    Is there a support group for this addiction? Where can I sign up? How many Ufo's warrants an addiction? So many questions - so many quilts. Happy birthday to Mr T. Lovely to see ALL your projects.

    Well this is fun. Really pretty last block on the needleturn flower. Such luscious fabrics. The embellishment really captured me, too. Is that tiny little stitching in orange at the center of the flower, too? I'm intrigued. (Feeling I need some chocolate, too) This is all so fun - how can I leave out that funtastic hand piecing, ha? Silly me!!!

    I just love the golden finch...so sad she won't ship them to the Netherlands... For me they bring me back to some years ago, when I lived in VA...they came to my birdfeather together with the Red cardinals, the woodpeckers, chickedee's,blue Jays blackbirds and the hummingbirds. Here in the Netherlands we don't see those birds. Only house finch, differend red robins and crows...but even you're blackbirds are bigger!
