throw a wench in the works: Oct 13, 2019

Quarter 3 was kind of meh. I finished a lot of tops and came to the conclusion that I don't really love the quilting part....but...the problem is that I can't afford to long arm them all. Especially since many of them head to hospice. Then sent three off expecting to get them back before the end of last quarter and haven't gotten them back yet. Definitely in this quarter....or I'll be an angry mama bear.

I really need to update some of these pictures. Some of these are much farther along.
I need to piece a ton of backs this quarter. I have a lot fo tops complete but haven't bothered making backs. I need to just spend one weekend knocking those out.
