GETTING MOTIVATED!

Ok, so many a project have been started on this blog, some finished, some not so finished. Most projects start like this:

Me: Karen (she's my partner in crime) look at this super cute project in my new Quiltmaker magazine.
Karen: yea that's nice, are you going to do it?
Me: I'd really like to, but you know me
Karen: Yeah I know you!! :)
Me: Fast forward many days later and scavenging on line for material that will be just perfect for the quilt!
Me: Hey Karen, you want to go on a shop hop? Remember that quilt I showed you, I found a shop in Kent (now closed :( ) that has the perfect fabric, wanna go?
Karen: Sure, when?
Me: Can you be at my house in an hour, I'll drive!
Karen: Ok, see you then.

Now, Karen of course has complete restraint when it comes to buying fabric, where I on the other hand have NONE! So I proceed to purchase $100 worth of fabric for this fantastic quilt. I start out with a bang, and post here all about it in blogland. Fast Forward a few months, and that is all I still have completed, but Karen on the other hand is the motivated sewer of this duo, and she ends up doing this...

And keep in mind she bought no fabric, and made it completely out of her stash! I am so jealous. So of course I want to start working on mine again, and here we are today and this is how much more I have gotten done...

I know that it does not look like that much more than the posting in October, but there are 8 new star blocks and 4 flower blocks! I know progress is slow, but I will get it done after seeing Karen's. I am so jealous and now hopefully more motivated! At least she let me quilt hers. Enjoy! Rachel
