Did you sew today? After the gym, errands and a large round of procrastination via Twitter, I ended up with an ounce of afternoon sewing time. I've been wanting to make a spider web quilt even though probably everyone else is totally done with them, so I started that quest. Now, however, I'm thinking of making just this little star portion into a zippy pouch because I don't really have time to finish it and I loathe UFOs sitting around. The Ladies in Waiting (projects I have fabric and ideas for already) own a large enough portion of this studio. So this may be as far as I ever get on a spiderweb quilt. I guess I just wanted to know how to do it, then once I knew, I didn't care anymore. I'm like that sometimes.
Were you inspired to sew today? What'd you make?

I'm inspired to make a quilt for my
Mom. She had to go into a nursing home recently and is always cold so I thought a nice quilt would keep her warmer.

I love spiderweb quilts and need to get back to the one I started this summer. So much color and they take so much time for each block. I totally get the lack of time for sewing.
