WiP Wednesday: getting ready for vacation
What do you take on vacation with you?? I am not really a beach person though the rest of my family are, so I always try to take my sewing with me.
So next week, we are off to the beach for the week….and I am taking with me a few of my WiPs. This week, is all about getting packed and preparing the projects.
First up, Phased Circles: Background fabric selected
The plan is to balance the color, so I am using Kona Pepper, with black, white and grey Carolyn Friedlander fabrics.
Project 2: Spoonflower Class – Row 3 blocks, plan is to finish row 3 and minimally finish the quilt top.
Last night, I spent some time cutting out all the pieces of that 3rd row.
Project 3: Jungle Ave Quilt. Fabrics arrived and are beautiful, so I will start to plan and cut the quilt top.
Project 4: Of course, you need to keep a 4 1/2 hour drive interesting…so you guessed, it the hexagon quilt is coming with us.
So, that is my plan for next week…the rest of the week is prepping and cutting. Linking up with Lee over at Freshly Pieced for WiP Wednesday.
