It was 9 degrees BELOW zero when I got up this morning! It's a good day to have a big quilt in your lap to bind!
I've been working on several projects as we start into 2014 - hope my momentum continues throughout the year.
After finishing a custom order for a large Buttercup Bag...
I started preparing for my upcoming Quilting Retreat. What a great time of year to hunker down for a few days of some serious sewing, laughing, eating and bonding with some great friends in a warm and cozy place.
I have wanted to make on of these pressing tables for ages, so I finally took the plunge and got 'er done! I'm sure it will get well used in the next few days!
Of course, I've got to have a project to work on... The Scrappy Trip-Around-The-World quilt has been on my list for a while now, so I spent some time cutting 288 strips (no two alike).
They are now all sorted into stacks of 6 strips, to make 48 blocks like this one...
This will be MY quilt, to use on my bed at our Retreat. I love the fact that I can identify every fabric in the quilt and remember what I made with each. Now to see how far I get this weekend... My goal is to make all the blocks, but we'll see.... As I'm warm and with friends, I'll be happy.
Cheers!
The cold has been horrible, hasn't it? (Not that I understand Fahrenheit at all, but that makes trying to understand the weather forecast that much more interesting). Live the pressing table and the beginnings if new quilts - looking forward to seeing what you make from them!
