In progress:
My first pattern - Making slow but steady progress here - just three more blocks to make, and then the top will be complete. Can't wait to share this with you!!
Pillow Talk Swap - I'm taking some things I learned both from Jess and from Amanda at the Sewing Summit on this projet, and kind of letting the fabric lead me. I've added a freehand curve here that came out really well and I'm real happy with how it's coming along so far, but I've got a ways to go yet. I wonder what my partner will think of this...
Catching up on Birdie Stitches - I did manage to embroider a block and a half on the trip to and from SLC, but I didn't quite get through all three blocks that I'm behind just yet, so I've got my work cut out for me here!
Farmer's Wife QAL - I looked at my Farmer's Wife bin yesterday and thought about doing a block, but I just wasn't in the right headspace for it. I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things and do a few to catch up real soon...
I'm pretty sure I've got new projects to add to my list, but I'm feeling awfully scatterbrained at the moment, so I'm sticking with these three puny projects for the time-being. Stay tuned on Saturday for a big quilty reveal (yippee!) and I've got plans to do a super fun Sewing Summit goody giveaway some time next week, so good things are coming, I swear!! I'm hoping to start blogging my way, from start to finish, through the process of a new baby quilt I need to start real soon, too, so I've got grand plans, if not much progress, this week!
Hop on over to Freshly Pieced to share your progress this week, and to tell her how excited you are for her to start shopping her fabric line, Kaleidoscope Lane, to the big manufacturers. Wish her luck!!

Looking good Elizabeth- I haven't done any sewing at all- organizing took priority and blogging about the SS took me forever! :) So much to recall and recap- I know I left out things - so much fun in such a short amount of time. Loved meeting you and wish we'd had a chance to chat more. Good thing there is always next year! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, your Pillow Talk swap start is looking great. Good job going outside of your comfort zone - the curves look great! Your birdy stitches in the hoop is making me DETERMINED to start embroidering. You know, in all my spare time. : )
