Wow, it's been several weeks since I posted anything. I've been busy, I started working in Manhattan and my commute time is 2 hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. It doesn't give me much time for anything else. But I found time to finish the top from my Postage Stamp Quilt. here is a picture. Tell me what you think.
Also, several weeks ago I signed up on Rachel Griffins blog p.s. i quilt for a quilt along called
Synchronized squares.. Rachel, is a quilt designer and author of sever quilting books. Rachel was doing a quilt along from one of her quilt pattern she design. I thought it was a wonderful idea and I wanted to join in. I felt this was going to be easy because the pattern she picked was very simple. So, I order the fabric Cake Layers which are already cut to the dimension that the quilt requires, easy enough. The fabric I order from the Moda shop and I ordered a Christmas fabric. I thought perfect gives me a jump on a Christmas quilt. I don't have many Christmas quilts.
Unfortunately, the quilt along ended on June 30th here we are now July 20th and I just started putting the square together. Hopefully this weekend I can take a couple of hours to my self and sit behind by sewing machine and sew away. I tell you, if it wasn't for WIP half of my project would never ever get done, so thank you Esther.
I will try to post my progress next week:
here is a picture of the squares from the quilt along:
WOW definitely keeps me accountable each week as well, I find it really helps stay on track and not start everything new.
ReplyDeleteA 2 hour commute each way is loong, and I think you should be congratulated for finding the time and energy to get anything done - let alone as much as you have. It will add up.
