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!
