Let’s get the home decorating out of the way first – so for those of you following the fascinating tale of the excess grout on the kitchen tiles, so far the score is Grout 1 – Katy 0, but it’s half time, and I’m rounding up some new subs from the bench in the form of better scouring pads – I will not be defeated! Don’t faint, but there’s someone coming to fix the bath today too, so fingers crossed all my DIY will be a distant memory soon…
So when I wasn’t working or cursing the tiling, I was doing a whole pile of riveting paperwork – I got the Issue 12 Quilt Now pattern written up and sent in, and my Rainy Days and Mondays pattern is out for testing – that was all by Friday night so I was feeling all efficient like after that! After that it was all about some market research and seeing stars ready for my class starting next Thursday. I think I need a bigger design wall (or perhaps to finish the quilt that’s been on there since January *ahem*), as it was all getting a bit confusing with giant star pieces and Cherie blocks on top of each other o.O
Finishes This Week:
This little lot is now at Quilt Now HQ waiting to be photographed in its finished state:
This is out for testing:
In Progress This Week:
I’ve been hoarding the 7 half yard cuts from Moroccan Mirage since I started quilting and fell in love with the colours, but couldn’t work out what to do with 7 prints! As fate would have it, they found themselves in close proximity to some Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow, the planets aligned and a couple of stars were born to be used as class samples. The plan is to have one completed top that I can use to show the basting stage, and the other to be in progress – it worked perfectly, but with the crowded design wall you’ll just have to take my word for it that this is now 3/4 of a completed star and a lot of cut bits, okay?
To Be Worked On This Week:
I’m hoping to get all my star bits done tonight
I have some double gauze calling my name to be turned into a summer quilt
But then I also had a brainwave for a new bag design so who knows!
Hope you all had a great week!
Popping in to say hi. My feed was so backed up I had to delete and start anew.
The Moroccan Mirage prints are delicious!! Can't wait to see this one!
Can't wait to see what you're up to with those pretty fabrics.
Love that bag, it's such a great shape.
I hope the Stars align for you ;0
OOh! A new bag design?! I can't wait! I'll be at a retreat this weekend, teasing my quilting ladies with the Rainy Days and Mondays bag;) Good on you for not letting that grout reign supreme. And a new bathe finally, faint!!!
Gorgeous fabric for the Quilt Now project – but I counted SEVEN zips – seriously??? ?. Hope the bath repair goes well and is invisible!!!
Goodness – you have done so much just in the first two paragraphs!!
Three cheers for the end of DIY – hip hip…
Are you on commission from a zip manufacturer, or perhaps you have been challenged to see how many zips you can get in one project!! Definitely looking forward to seeing that project when it is finished.
Hope the new scourers are the solution to your grouting problems 🙂
Grr, grout, great when its done!!! What is that Quilt Now fabric, it's fantastic?
bummer bout the grout. definitely sounds like a bigger design wall is in order!
