Every week I am somehow surprised by how quickly Wednesday crops up again. I feel like I haven't had the most productive week, but I did get all of my bee blocks for the month done, along with my first zippered pouch for practice. I've still got plenty of projects in the works
Finished:
String Me Along block
{Sew} Beautiful block
Birdie Stitches block
do.Good Stitches block
Still working on:
Bottled Rainbows QAL - I finished assembling the top this week, which was a lot of fun. I'm still debating what I'm going to do for a backing, but I'm excited to finish this one soon!
Supernova QAL - I'm all ready for the next step, to assemble the quilt top. My house is starting to feel like Quilt Tops R Us! I really ought to start working on the backing, too - I plan to use the scraps from my seriously large It's a Hoot collection to make up a backing for this one.
Spiderweb quilt - Zero progress this week. I think paper piecing that Circle of Geese block for Brooke filled my paper piecing quotient for the week, but I hope to try to get at least one spiderweb done next week, if not 2! Right now, I still need 17 more of these blocks to finish up this quilt.
Pretty {little} Pouch swap - I've tried one practice pouch with a zipper, which was somewhat painful, but I wasn't about to give up. I've started another little pouch, using Kelly's tute, and we'll see how that turns out later today, hopefully.
Goodie Bag swap - Partner emails are going out this week. I'm super excited about this swap, if nothing but because I simply adore bags!
Super secret project - Nothing to share just yet, but there will be soon :)
Single Girl king-size quilt - Still waiting for a local long-arm to rent...
New this week:
3x6 Mini-Bee - Seems like all the girls in my beehive have checked in, so I'll hopefully start sketching and brainstorming for this one this week.
Commissioned bookshelf mini - Woo hoo, another paying gig! A custom mini-bookshelf quilt is in the works :)
String Me Along prep - It's my turn to be queen bee next month, so I need to pull some fabrics and decide on a block. I'm still toying with blocks and fabrics, but so far, I'm feeling pulled toward this stack of fabrics, matched up with some solids...

Isn't it funny how no matter how many projects you have, they all seem to stall at that quilt top stage? I feel like I have a lot of quilt tops waiting to be finished too. LOVE your bottled rainbows, it's just gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteYour bee blocks look great! I had a moment of panic the other day that I hadn't done my String Me Along block yet, but thankfully it's still only mid-month. It threw me off since I got done so quick last month! I can't wait to see what you pick out for May, those fabrics are beautiful!
