Humming away

by thornberry

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.

Sue Ross BOM - cutting the setting strips

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.
