It’s been a very weird week this last week, partly because I was in and out of the office and didn’t quite know which way was up come the weekend (hence I totally forgot to put a post up for Monday). Anywho I got some sewing done and some teaching done and went out to dinner last night with a bunch of friends, so it was a pretty successful week too. In other news, for those that followed the great bath saga of ’15, guess what? They finally came and replaced it!!! Alas, the bath pillow I ordered following the blessed event is back ordered and won’t arrive for 3 weeks :'( I will have a relaxing new years bath though damnit!
It’s my last class of this beginner’s quilting session tomorrow, so I get a wee break until the 18th January when the next round begins (now on Mondays). I also have a class on Saturday which is a taster session and my students will be making quilted Christmas stockings. I’ll try and get some photos from both classes for you, with their proud makers.
Finishes This Week:
I got my stocking class prep done, but it looks quite uninspiring as bits lol
In Progress This Week:
Remember the weird diagram from a couple of weeks ago? Well it was actually working towards one of three templates I made for teeny dresdens (with 2″ blades), which in turn were to go into the secret project as flowers. It’s the only bit I’ve been able to photograph separately (you’ll understand when you finally see the whole thing!), so it’s nice to be able to share a bit. I did learn though that I cannot use bias tape makers. I just can’t!
This wee one subsequently got bumped from the flowers in a vase option, but I have another plan for it elsewhere (and obviously a centre for it too!)
I also started plotting patterns for Christmas presents, and pulling fabrics. Anyone have any idea of what to give the 91 year old who has everything?!
To Be Worked On This Week:
Finishing the top of the secret project
Operation Christmas presents is under way!
Hope you all have a great week! Linking up with Lee and the gang:
I'm so glad they replaced the bath, much better than repairing it. The baby dresdens look fab
i'd say give that 91 year old a huge hug and as much time as you can spare, even if it's phone calls. that's probably most meaningful at that age. =) your mini dresdens are SO cute! are they paper pieced? they look like they easily could be if they aren't. thanks for the cuteness inspiration!
These little dresdens are adorable! What a great job!
Thank you :o)
aaaaah I get it. Love the flowers. 91 yr old who has everything will always use a roomy zippy to put stuff in… I made my gran a big roomy zippy and i was told it was perfect for putting her nightie in each morning… errr, ok gran!
Yay yay yay! Finally, a bathe! Those dresdens are fabulously cute:) give yer Gran a hug from me. What else could she want?? Xx
Love the mini dresdens ! How about a magazine subscription for a year?
Those are really cute and the fabrics are great too.
I can't use bias tape makers either. In fact, i don't believe they actually work, people just say they do as they couldn't do it either but don't want to lose face.
