Well, in a way, I have! Scarborough Faire started up, and so my sewing time went down the drain. Any evening time was eaten up by the day job, where we had testing to do. Lots of testing. New costuming, and then add to that the fact that I made a chemo quilt and 5 quilts to raffle for fundraising for the friend for who the chemo quilt was made... there wasn't much time for doing other stuff. We spent last weekend cleaning up the forge, and now we're back at it. Finally.
If anyone out there is stuill reading this, I apologize for the long period of silence. If not, no biggie. :)
I've managed to get all 64 blocks pieced for my next (Personal) quilt. For me. Hah! For my bed, no less! It's based on the same pattern as Sea-Glass, but it's in phoenix colors. And will have black sashing - that's my goal for tonight, cut out all that blasted sashing! And start sewing again!
And since the forge is now clean again, we can start gearing up for the next class. We're going to do a quilt as you go project, to introduce new skills. Hooray!
The woman who won the quilt wanted it VERY badly - and I was thrilled she got it.
The other quilts were less spectacular, but no less wanted by people. My Binary quilt went - quite popular, which made me smile, as well as three log cabin variations in several colorways. Those were pieced by a friend who said "Here. Add these in." So I backed, quilted and bound them.
I was greatly pleased to do it, and I hope it helps out my friend. But it SURE did take up the time!!!
So now I can get back to the normal updates, and back to the quilting and designing! And tonight I will pull Boston Molasses back out and see what I can get done. And start looking at other people's blogs again. I feel like such a slacker.
Cheers!
Shay
