This month, I felt like I got a lot accomplished. It is so hard not to share photos of everything you are doing!! I still have 5 days including today to get my list down….and I will be using every day, for sure.

  • Finish “Neighborhood” Quilt – quilt and bind (this will be my main goal for August for A Lovely Year of Finishes) [QUILTING PROJECT FOR THIS WEEKEND]
  • Finish “Spoonflower Sampler” Quilt – quilt and bind [TARGET: NEXT MONTH FINISH]
  • Finish “Phased Circles” Quilt – baste, quilt and bind (basting is complete and quilting will start in September) [TARGET: NEXT MONTH, expecting an OCTOBER Finish]
  • Finish testing a paper piecing pattern (Bjorn the Bear) – piece/top, baste, quilt and bind,
  • Project 1: Secret project ( ;-))  [PROJECT COMPLETE and WRITTEN UP].
  • Jungle Ave Tapa: this is the quilt I won for the design – cut, piece, top complete, baste, quilt and bind. [CUTTING AND PIECING UNDERWAY, maybe a top finished this weekend]

This is the only photo I will show of the “Jungle Ave Tapa” quilt, but here is a sneak peak just to prove I have actually started. I am excited!!

Sunday Stash: Sewing Room Update

8 Replies

Last week, I posted about my fabric stash and the organizing of my guest room which was serving as a fabric overflow room.

On Saturday, I decided that I needed to move everything back into my sewing room and clean up that corner space. I added some shelving (from Target) on top of my book case and in my alcove space. The fabric is all moved back in, and my space is neat and tidy. I am doing a happy dance!!!

This design organically grew. I was adding a grey stripe to the back and had not as yet added the change to the mint green HST so they would blend. I decided to leave it as it created a different interest point which I liked.

The doll’s house design was inspired by this shelf from The Land of Nod. Would it not look great with some fussy cut Heather Ross prints??!! I got great feedback from Amy to add the chimney and the red backing was a favorite.
