WiP - Working The List...

I carved out a little studio time whilst Double Trouble were napping... one must be prepared to drop the task in progress at any moment. Must work quickly.... so I opted to make a hanging sleeve for Honey. You know, my last Library Project quilt. Exciting? No. Smallest item on The List? Yes. Anticipating the cheap thrill of crossing out a completed item? Hell, yes!!!

I went searching on my Pinterest boards for the hanging sleeve tutorial I'd used in the past, but the link was dead. Sad, very sad. I ended up using a tutorial that Mr. Google helped me find - this one. It seems very similar to the one I used before...

With careful pressing, this sleeve tents up. It gives you enough slack to insert a rod or bar without it making a visible bump on your quilt when you hang it. 

Now it's all pinned and ready to stitch when TV time comes and I don't have a baby in my arms... whenever that is.

It really ticks me off that the edge of my quilt isn't straight. Nope, not a camera trick, people. I don't know why things don't turn out exactly square.... probably because I refuse to trim using a ruler. Hmmm... might be the reason. Anyway. It's not going in a show (at least not one where anyone would care!), so I've decided to practice embracing imperfection and move on. ☺


Annndddd.... since it's Wednesday, I'm linking up with Let's Bee Social organized by the lovely Lorna over at Sew Fresh Quilts and WiP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. Hi. My name is Jenn and I'm a link-aholic...for this post anyway.
