I have several projects on-going for this week’s work in progress – most of them relate to my February goals. I am linking up with Freshly Pieced.
#3 – 4 sets of Potholders:
I am still working on finishing the set of two pot holders. The chicken ones are completed (and being sent to ClumsyKristel this week) and the blue teapot ones are closer to being finished.
#5 – Triple Zipper Pouch Tutorial (at A Quilters Table)
I wanted to complete a triple zipper pouch, well I have finally decided on my fabrics (Les Amis Fabrics by Patti Sloniger for Michael Miller) and zippers (Red-brown, Taupe, and Orange-Pink).
Finally a project not on my February goals – Our chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild started the Madrona Road Challenge this week, and I finally have the fabric. I am so excited to get started I have been seeing so many great projects. I know the design I want to try, and it should involve my #6 goal for trying paper piecing. I will be trying to also design my own template….ambitious you might say since I have never paper pieced – well we will see :-). If the blocks turn out I will be sharing the idea and the templates (paper pieced) /designs (for non-paper pieced blocks)
The fabrics for the triple zip are great – that’ll be really cute.
Paper piecing can be fun, but equally very frustrating. I don’t tend to do it very often, though some of my crafty friends do it pretty exclusively. Anyway, it gives great results, so I can see the appeal 😀
Thanks – and I will be at the post office tomorrow to send your gift off 🙂
Enjoy your new adventure. I have done paper piecing a number of times and it is easy, but it is also time consuming.
Thanks, I see the ideas in my head – just have to make it real 🙂
