Today I’m linking up to Lily's Quilts and Fresh Sewing Day.
I’ve had quite a busy month … I’ve been sporadically on holiday (yay!) and trying to fit in a load of sewing (double yay!) … as well as celebrating my first blogiversary last week! (triple yay!)
I put in some long, long, hours of mad improv piecing for my ruby star spring quilt … which is now ready to quilt, despite the interference of the cat! I’ve tried machine quilting it but my machine just can’t handle all that linen (it has a completely linen back too) it’s too heavy and too slippy and it looks ghastly, so on with the perle cottons it is! I like a sofa project ;)
There’s no deadline on this quilt as it’s for ME! (this will be my first full size quilt for me).
I also finished my Pingwheels of My Mind quilt for my goddaughter. using the wonderful Happy Mochi Yum Yum I won over at Lily’sQuilts :
Then I went a bit bonkers barmy for my For The Love of Solids Swap .. I started with fibonacci sequences and then mixed it all up.
The quilting was even more bonkers … I used 3 bobbins for all that cosmic chaos quilting! I’m going to sit and bind this tonight …
I’ve also been working on some hexies for the 4x5{modern}bee on flickr:
... and a little bit of test knitting (shhh don’t tell anyone)
with this wonderful linen & some variegated yarn I’ve had for yonks:
What a month!
