I’m trying for a quick blog post…..
But one picture has SO much to say!!
In the front are 5 sets of fat quarters I cut last week. When I dye fabrics, the extra dye when I’m done (or when class is ending) goes into one bucket. I add a cup of salt (I just dump some in, never measure it) and a yard of PFD fabric. I let it stay in the bucket overnight or until I remember it. LOL!! It is a surprise every time! Those that were at the parfait class on Friday got a surprise! Sorry you missed it. 😉
The back of the photo shows my work table in the sewing room. I’ve been stealing bits of time here & there to work on the current project. It just rammed itself into the LONG list of projects and made itself current. 🙂
After following the Pink Pincushion for a few months, I’m joining her year of Schnibbles starting in October. This year is La Petite. We’ll see how much I keep up! For the first pattern, I wanted something fall-ish because I hate fall (weather, Phil’s schedule, coming winter, my previous orange carpet) and thought it would be something happy for me for the season. I LOVE this fabric line from Barbara Brackman and ordered what I needed from the Fat Quarter Shop. Pleased with a new online place as well! The pattern is Paganini from Miss Rosie’s. (at the bottom of the page, click on Paganini)
So… that picture was Tuesday, I think. (or Wednesday…) As of RIGHT NOW, I’ve won the scalloped border argument (late yesterday afternoon) and I’m heading downstairs to stitch it on. 🙂
My calender on the table is where I record what I’m working on. I don’t always keep up tho! But at least in some future moment of time, someone could read this and see what was going on when I made a quilt they’ve claimed. 😉
Sometime I should tell you about my walk yesterday…..
And the SIGN! 😉
How was the walk–I walked the 5K at Mt. Carroll.
You’ve come a long way baby! Aren’t those the pieces you were cutting at my house just last week? You’re speedy!
Yes, those pieces, Lori, but wasn’t it 10 days ago? 🙂
Had a class with Carrie on Sat, Route 44. Her quilts are amazing!
Love it! Beautiful fall feel but with the blues added. Not something I would have thought of!
So gorgeous!!!! That project is stunning! And I LOVED the tour of your sewing table : ) The calendar idea is a great one! What a priceless, precious journal that will be one day.
I just got that pattern also, Joyce. Wonder which one of us will finish first? Have some bright charms called Happy to make it. Think I am going to do the 4th view.
