This is in my lap tonight - stitching down green hexies! HopeFULLY, I'll finish this quilt top tomorrow... I do love it, but I'm ready to move on. I think I'll hand quilt it with perle cotton though, so it will be in my lap for a bit longer. :)
I need to take a few hours to clean up my sewing room soon - what a mess I've made. And you should see the floor!
Look what I found today! An old cigar box! It was in my closet in a bag of stuff my mother gave me last year when she moved to Augusta.
It was full of small family treasures like this. It seems to be a badge, maybe from a war? Does anyone know what this is???? There were also some old buttons with a similar crown and eagle insignia on them.
I may turn the box into a sewing box - but I'll have to find a new spot for the treasures though.
So to answer my own question yesterday: I like to make lap quilts the best! They are just the right size to me. I can finish them rather quickly. And with two dogs who like to be in our laps under a quilt, lap quilts are perfect for us. And they also look good folded at the end of a bed.
