Though I've not spent a lot of time in the sewing room the last couple of weeks, there has been some planning going on here and there. The Meadow Mist Designs Magnificent Mystery kicked off back in July with the fabric requirements. I don't usually start cutting the fabrics till the first set of block instructions come out, which happen Thursday this week. I've been pulling fabrics and putting them back, but I think this weekend I reached my final selection. | Life In Pieces
It was nice to get back to the sewing room on Sunday. After a week away from home, the first decision was to decide what to work on. I finished off the August inverted star block for the guild BOM so I was free to work on something else. Since I'd really like to get another finish in soon, the project box with the quilted Kate's Choice blocks was pulled off the shelf. First step was to cut the sashing strips for the front and back of the quilt and attach those. | Life In Pieces
The summer allergies are still hanging on, but it wasn't so bad this weekend. A lot of sneezing, but I've not needed quite so many tissues....| kate-life-in-pieces.blogspot.com
It was a slow, stay around the house kind of weekend. We went to church and that's about it. Most of my weekend was spent in my sewing room. My focus was to make some good progress on my "quilt as you go" project, Kate's Choice. | Life In Pieces
We all expected an adjustment with Grad Girl moving home till she finds a job. It's not so much having Grad Girl home, she's pretty self sufficient. But her cat, Queenie, has had a harder time adjusting. I think she's finally getting over the stress of moving. But probably, it's that she's gotten us through the initial training of having a cat running the home. | Life In Pieces
We finally made it home early yesterday afternoon. All of us were hot and tired. Queenie, Grad Girl's cat, isn't a fan of hotel rooms. So none of us got a lot of sleep the previous 4 nights. Needless to say after we unloaded and got lunch, everyone of us, including the cat, took naps yesterday afternoon. It was early evening before I made it up to the sewing room and took stock. | Life In Pieces
Secret projects didn't used to be very common in my sewing room. But with taking on the block of the month program for the guild, I don't feel like I can share much of that sewing till I've showed it at the guild meeting. Getting a bit ahead has been my focus for the last month, so there's not much else going on in the sewing room. If I take off all the bits and pieces of the BOM off my sewing table, here's what's left. | Life In Pieces
