yikes - is it already the end of july?!?
how the heck did that happen?!?
the Old School Saturday Sampler BOM meeting for july was uneventful ... we brought our quilt tops and took them out of our tote bins ready to gloat because we were ahead of the pack and guess what?!?
NOT ONE of us was asked to show her progress!!!
when i'm NOT prepared, i am always the one who is called upon...
sigh
this month's assignment is the rest of the top - except for the final border...
i embroidered a sailing ship designed by Urban Threads...
those are supposed to be clouds, not waves, cuz it's a dream boat
and added a night sky border all the way around with two stars on the right side so there would be a second star to the right...
faerie frost and glow-in-the-dark stars - and they actually glow!!!
and now we are supposed to put our work in a paper bag and bring it to the next meeting...
and then hand it off to have the final border added by another BOMer...
gulp...
we've all known this since the beginning of the BOM...
it was one of the reasons why i chose to work with the neutral shudder colorway...
i figured it wouldn't matter to me who added the final border because i wouldn't like the quilt anyway...
but...
yes, there is always a but
i seem to have become emotionally attached to the silly thing...
and now i don't want to pass it on to anyone else...
yeah...
um...
no...
that is not gonna happen...
i've decided to skip the handing-off part...
