Keeping it real…I have made progress since my last post, though not as much as I hoped. At least its moving in the right direction.
So what’s happening…
From the releasing pattern front, I have managed to release the 3 pattern of 4 patterns (Abstract Triangles, Daughters Love and Altitudinal Ecosystem) with Mad Dash coming the first week in October. So overall completed all that I set out to do in September. YAY!!!
From a project perspective, they have all moved forward.
Sew Ready to Play Blog hop – The mastermind project, completed and posted a tutorial on Monday.
Mad Dash – binding is underway. I had some issues, with wonkiness when machine binding so switched to hand stitching it. I think its related to the pressure of the foot while stitching through 2 layers of batting. Only one side to go and this should be finished before the weekend.
Sunday Best – My favorite project at the moment, and I finally got over the fear of what to do with the quilting and decided to just start. After all, a finished quilt is better than an unfinished one. Right??!! Here’s how I started…
I really love this block as a whole:
Orange Creamsicle – all the blocks for the top are now complete. All hand-stitched. I just need to hand-stitch all the straight seams. This is slightly modified from what I posted on Instagram (IG), as I changed one of the blocks backgrounds for more balance (top right).
Lastly…
Directional Lines – Is a new project start but has a deadline of October 14th. It’s my #whatshadeareyou for RJR fabrics project. It is another improvisation project. Can I say I love this already and I have only done 8 lines.

Sunday Best–that teeny tiny grid quilting? I’m in LOVE!!!
Thanks so much,
Ivy. Now that I started I have so many more ideas and can’t wait to get back to the quilting 🙂
Hi, am new to your blog, but I’ve got to say I love your simple project planning – I need to keep myself organised and this is the system I need – thank-you, and your designs are inspiring, I love your colour usage and am really looking forward to seeing the finished directional lines quilt
I am starting to feel like I am making headway on a way too long to-do list myself. All your progress is looking great, and I really love the start of your quilting for Sunday Best.
