coz, y'know, I haven't enough on my sewing plate.

I currently have 2 quilts on the go. The hexagons and the Godzilla shoo-fly. One was waiting for finishing instructioins (which I now have) and one still waits for more thread to arrive but there's another hitch, too. My sewing machine has packed in! It's been struggling for a few months now - it sometimes only has 2 speeds. Not at all and Warp 9! I can't figure out if it's the pedal or the motor, turning the wee wheel makes it go fine. Until you stop again. Bear in mind it's nearly 20 years old and has never been serviced. In fact, for the first 19 of those years it didn't have a drop of oil, either! So, it's packed up to go to my sewing machine specialists who, luckily, are only a few miles away.

In the meantime, I've borrowed Wee Granny's machine. It's new and sews fine but I'm a bit wary of finishing piecing the hexagons on a different machine (Granny's puckers a bit and I can't figure out how to get it to stop!!) and there's NO WAY I'm finishing the stippling on Godzilla on it. AND my quarter inch foot doesn't fit. No, it does fit, it just doesn't like it and the thread keeps getting in a fankle. *huffs* So, I have my Doll Quilt round 9 mini to make (which is fine - I've 2 months to do it, more on that another day) but wanted something else to be getting on with. And the Chook had been sleeping under the Wonky Cherries throw and asking for her own bed quilt. So the hunt began for pink and green fabric that was bright but not radioactive and not babyish. Couldn't find anything we liked and then I remembered this stuff!!
I bought a fat quarter bundle of Sandi Henderson's "Ginger Blossom" in February coz it was on sale and I loved it. And I had the "jelly filled" pattern from ThimbleBlossoms coz it was originally for the L'Amour jellyroll that has become the love hexagons. So I'm diddling away on ANOTHER top trying not to really want to do the ORB asterisks quilt (even though I really want to and probably will eventually) and not getting anything finished. I'm getting a bit frustrated, TBH, I do not like too many things on the go at once. That's how you get UFO piles!
