Yesterday I Went to My Sewin at tirane's house. I saw Babs and Mimi. I went with a mission to cut a stripe fabric that is key to two tops I am making. I have put this off for a long time. And as a result I have not really worked on anything for probably two weeks. So after procrast....er...enjoying my coffee....then a glass of water I setup everything to start cutting. Once I was setup I had to checkout everyone else's work. Tirane was binding a table runner, Bab's was cutting fabric for some small gift items she is making for a craft fair and Mimi managed to bind a lap quilt. I finally asked tirane to come listen to how I planned to cut this fabric. She listened and confirmed my plan and I put cutter to fabric.
I cut...and I cut...and cut some more. After 4 hours of cutting I managed to cut the fabric for borders for both quilts. I also cut the strips for the sashing for one of the quilts but still had more cutting to do. I was so hungry I decided to go home. Once I fed myself I went straight back to cutting. I probably cut for another hour and had the sashing strips cut for one of the tops. I still had to subcut them.
After completing other necessary items I subcut the sashing strips and began sewing. I amnot sure how long it took me but I finally have all the blocks done on my fuschia quilt. I will probably assemble the top on that one and finish cutting the fabric for the daisy quilt.
I am so happy to finally be over the hump and sewing again!

Here is the center. Now to add the borders.
Oh Swooze--I have been there so many many times. I have had a quilt on my design board for well a long time--not knowing what to do and just not doing it. So glad you are over the hump, so to speak.
ReplyDeleteWOW--enough said,huh! I have a friend who just finished a purple and green quilt. Beautiful combination. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got your borders cut, sometimes borders are the hardest part of the quilt to me. Your quilt is so pretty and fresh. I have been enjoying your Houston highlights, maybe I can go next year!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! I love that pic Swooze, but then I really love fucias. Such a shame it is far too hot and dry for them to grow up here. My mum used to have one in her fernery and I used to call it the ballerina tree when I was little. I am making great progress on my lone star while making some Christmas wine/coffee coasters in between.
