I know a lot of us quilters seem to go through little slumps in our quilting and I seem to be in one with little interest in working on my quilts this past week. Maybe it is sore fingers and spring weather that is the reason for this? I have gotten a little done while watching tv off and on but not a lot.
The quilting is really going well on the “So Charming” quilt just slower than I had intended. I am more than half way done and if it was the only thing I was working on I would be finished with it. I have 3 rows of blocks left to quilt.
These four rows finished. I didn't have the lighting quite right and between the polka dots and the lighting it is hard to see the stitching!
The back. I think the front polka dots makes me dizzy looking at them! The back is a litle better. With the polka dots though it is hard to see the quilting stitches.
Eight of the 24 flowers are now appliqued in place. I doubt I will bother with the embroidery that I originally talked about. I had thought of little green trendils out on the sides of the flowers now I don't know I kind of just want to get done with it so I can move on to the other projects that need working on. That is what happens when I start on too many things at one time.
I think I have 3 different kinds of daffodils of this small bouquet, I have two more varieties that have not opened. I only had about 4 or 5 hyacinths that bloomed this year. I don't know what is the problem with these bulbs, they did great the first year but each year since I have had less and less blooms. I might need to get some new ones this fall to plant. I always love the way they smell.
I have not touched the second Dear Jane quilt in about 2 or 3 weeks and really need to get back to work on it but I think I will finish the applique flowers first on the baby quilt and the quilting on So Charming. It will feel good to have a couple projects finished. I actually quilted just a little this morning on the Christmas Quilt and that was the first time in 2 weeks. I really am working on too many things at once and need to stop doing that!
Sometimes I think working on so many projects has something to do with my blogging. I never used to work on so many different things, now it seems I work on too many things as I want something to blog about perhaps? I don’t know. I might have to do less blogging and stick with one or two projects at a time instead. I do know that I am on the computer much more than I ever was before. This last year or two I have seemed to have gotten addicted to the computer 
how the heck did that happen!
