The machine has been humming away. Lots of things are in progress, but nothing has been finished. That’s the sort of week it’s been. Easily distractible, jumping from one thing to the other. But all in the nicest way.
I’ve done a little more work on my Material Obsession Sue Ross BOM quilt. The setting strips are all cut. Block 9 has been fused into place and is now waiting for my mum’s machine to applique it down.
I’ve cut and fused circles onto another two blocks, taking the easy way out to do raw edge applique rather than hand sewing.
There are leftover blocks from Leah’s wedding quilt all arranged and waiting to be assembled into a small zig zag quilt (which I’ll probably keep).
Add to the mix a little pattern testing:
and a little more pattern testing.
Then there are the cut-out-for-the-past-month-and-still-waiting tops to sew.
I’ve got fabric and pattern sorted for the MPB Men’s Shirt Sew-Along (finally something for Mr T) starting next month.
And some plastic tubs of yarn to catalogue for my Ravelry stash (thanks for the reminder Amy!)
So there is lots happening, nothing finished, nothing likely to be finished for a few days yet as it all happends in snippets of time in between school holiday activities. But at least things are humming! And I’m happy with that.
oooh I’d love to hear what you think of the Collette pattern. Miss Jem is busting for one of their frocks – but not sure I am that capable.
I would love to be able to make my clothes – I have lots of fabric and ideas, but not the intestinal fortitude to cut into the fabric and (probably) stuff it up! Can I put a suggestion out there to you, to do a simple top sew-along on your blog, so a beginner like me can get instructions / photos along the way. It would be very popular I’m sure – I would definitely appreciate it!
Love the round wheel block! Fun!
I’ve been trying to limit my projects to one at a time because I know how hard it is to jump from project to project. You seem to be doing just fine, though!
Busy girl!!… too busy to try new and revised pattern-testing patterns…?
Lots of good stuff happening, love the quilts.
