Last night I sat down and wrote out a list of things I need to get done soon. And then I realised that I should link up with Kelsey Sews to keep me accountable and win prizes. Write list. Win prizes (hopefully). Deal! In no particular order, other than the fact they need to be done before the end of… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Slice and Dice
I’ve kept up the cut-when-watching-TV-with-husband so that when I have 10 minutes or more to sit down at my machine, I can piece as much as I can. And then cut and trim those later ready for the next sewing session. Here we can see a half yard of Bella Turqoise awaiting to be cut into 2.5″ strips, 18 assorted… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Snip Snip Snip
Or more accurately, roll roll roll of the rotary cutter as I’ve almost run out of white thread (my staple piecing colour) and so I don’t want to start something new until I’ve bought more! A quieter week this week as we head off today for a work conference. My husband gets to attend a Japanese radiation conference and we… Read More
Good Fortune, Good Luck!
When does a WIP become a UFO?! I propose that this WIP officially be classed as a UFO – it’s been over 5 months since I finished the top and started to piece the back. It’s since been languishing in the cupboard, packed into a suitcase, and shoved into yet another cupboard. Why have I procrastinated? Because it’s the biggest… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Just Gettin’ Started
This week my on-the-go WIPs are actually in their infancy stage of planning and playing with fabric. Yesterday I finally got Susan Briscoe’s Japanese Quilt Blocks book! I’m going to be doing a Japanese sampler quilt using Japanesey Japanese fabrics in a blue and white colour scheme… I must admit to being scared of some, or most, of the harder… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Winners and Grinners!
First, I have two giveaways for which to announce the winners! The first lucky winner of the 2 Coquette charm packs from Julie at The Intrepid Thread is Heather A! And the winner of the transport I-spy charms is Janice! Congratulations ladies!! Emails have been sent. ———— And as for grinners? Besides those lucky ladies? My kids at the latest… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Which Thread?!
I’m hosting TGIFF this Friday and have set the goal of getting this quilt done for it. I’ve basted my son’s transport I-spy quilt… but what thread to quilt it in?! I really wish I had some light grey on hand, that would be best, and technically I own a set of neutral Aurifil, except it’s sitting back in Australia… Read More
July Retrospective; August Attempts
July wasn’t as productive as hoped – a little dash of low sewjo, a sore bum (don’t ask) meaning I couldn’t sit to sew, plus study starting up. But nonetheless, I have made steady progress towards my quarterly goals. I finished a UFO – Candy Apples – and whipped up Hibaba within a week. I’ve finished the quilt top for… Read More
WIP Wednesday: Blog Hop Preparation
It’s August! And that means it’s time for the Practically Paper Piecing blog hop with Kristy at Quiet Play! My stop is next Tuesday (August 7th) and Julie from Intrepid Thread is sponsoring a giveaway, so make sure you pop by! I’m busily working away on my paper pieced item… Any guesses? I’ve also finally gotten around to finishing off… Read More
WIP: Checkin’ My List
It’s been a quieter week on the sewing front. I’ve been busy getting ready for my Practically Paper Piecing blog hop day, as well as getting myself ready to start my next uni subject and enjoying the cooler weather we had over the weekend! I did get my next Fat Quarter Shop Designer BOM in the mail and sewn up… Read More
