Unplanned Happy Mess


Funny I actually had a plan today. It was stitching, but I had planned making bits and bobs for the shop that I have been musing about for the past week or so, a couple of tissue holders featuring that cute little tree I did on one of my mini clocks, and another clock design. However, I picked up a bit of fabric, and a funny thing happened, I did something totally different. I have been doing it all afternoon. Now I don't normally get involved with competitions as most of the time it comes down to just that a lack of time or a lack of inspiration. On this occasion it was just something I sort of must have kept at the back of my mind about taking part, or just seemed to remember reading it, which was a competition that Liberty is running celebrating quilts. Now I am not a quilter, I dabble, and still am making a baby quilt, must get the wadding for that. I also don't do big projects, space and the love of working on small scale generally stops me from doing that. However, I want to have a go at least attempting to do something for this competition, and whether or not I actually finish it on time or even decide to enter the final project remains to be seen. However this is what I have got up to so far. 
What do you think?
