I turned in my book on Friday, feeling happy and excited about all the work. Yay! After spending most of the last month at home, working, I requested dinner and a movie out with the family, so we headed out to see Frozen and had a nice dinner in Park City, together. We had a really fun night out, and the kids all enjoyed the movie.
A couple of weeks ago, I had gone through my stash, and pulled a lot of fabrics to sort into color groups, so I decided to tackle that much later in the evening. While I found it very relaxing, my husband looked at me incredulously, asking, “What, did you forget how to relax?” There might be a tiny bit of truth in his question, but I had fun anyway, and the piles are so pretty when sorted out! My blue stack is much larger than the rest…
Last night I decided to get a little serious and work on my #APQQuiltalong quilt, which has been waiting in the corner for me. I’m happy to report that I cut and sorted all the pieces for my blocks!
I organized all my pieces and look forward to a major piecing session tomorrow while the house is empty. It been a while since I’ve done any piecing, and I do love it!
What are you up to this week?
More soon,
Amy
going to town today(3hr one way!) to stock up on white and bleached muslin (online shopping is a lifesaver!)…been holding me back on a couple different projects…especially excited about the one using muslin…it’s been on my list for a while, AND it’s my own idea :) Enjoy your piecing! I’ll be in the truck :)
Congrats on finishing your book – that’s a milestone and worthy of celebration for sure! The fabric you’ve cut out looks very intriguing.
Hi friend! I’m so out of the loop! Hoping to change that this year. Another book!? Congrats! You are amazing!
Your piles look lovely. I sat on the floor and went through scrap baskets looking for fabrics for economy blocks. I found it very relaxing. I was happy happy
Looking at each piece : )
Lovely piles of scraps :)
Congrats on the new book.
Congrats on getting the book to the publishers, awesome! I have all the blocks for Whispering Lace completed. Next up, layout, assembly and then on Sir Owen the Innova for quilting.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
I am participating in Project Quilting with Persimon Dreams blog and had to sort out some strips from my scraps last weekend and found I had ALOT more blue than any other color as well !
Nice piles of organized fabrics and of your new blocks! I must organize my sewing space again before I can get back to work as I just returned from vending at a show. That’s what I will be up to! It’s nice to get organized isn’t it!
