What Are You Working On??

I just got my Dresdan Plate Quilt back from the machine quilter. It is
lovely. You can see in Pix #1 in my Webshots Snigs Album.

Hey Wendy, I won the set of blocks at my guild mtg. yesterday. Only 10
churn dash since it was a small turnout but it is fun to win anyway.
The quilt on my bed is from blocks I won several years ago.

I am kind of in a slump on projects right now so I have been quilting
tops for kids charity quilts. I have a feathered star going but about
14 (or 16?) blocks into the 20 I need I have hit the wall. I am sick
of all those little pieces.
I took Peggy Martins' class (NYB)last week so I have that calling to me.

I need something to wear for a shower so I pulled some wonderful
challis fabrics out for maybe a skirt or simple dress. I haven't
done much clothing construction in a good while so that could be
a challenge.
Guess I am having a tough time being focused this week. I'm hoping to get
inspired with what everyone else is working on!

Ok, I'll go first! As I may have mentioned before (I'm only extremely
excited about this!), I'm in charge of my guild's Block Party committee
for the coming year. Each month, the Block Party hands out a pattern and
some fabric to make a block. Members add some of their own fabric, bring
back the completed block, and we raffle them off to 1 or 2 lucky
participants.

I've planned almost all of the blocks we'll use (I'm still waiting to be
inspired for a couple more months), based on a theme of Home Comforts.
In order to have samples completed for the September meeting, I had to
get started early! That meant.... fabric shopping! I wanted to make sure
that the samples and the hand-outs were the same fabric, so I had to
figure out how much each month would take, and buy all the fabric needed
at once. I did miscalculate Sept's fabric, so gosh, darn, I'll have to
go shopping again! ;-P

I've been paper piecing some candy corn blocks for Oct. I couldn't find
a free pattern I liked, so I drafted my own. Then I had to test it out,
and do some reversed blocks... now I have enough to put together a small
wall hanging to use as a sample!

Next, on to coffee cups. I've done a couple variations of paper-pieced
cups, and I'll do an applique one, as well.

By the time the Sept. meeting rolls around, I should be ready! My small
Bee group has offered to help make samples so I don't have to do it all
myself. But I'm having such fun, I may not need them! It really feels
good to be sewing again. :-D

Oh that's just lovely. I recognize the quilting pattern -- one of the
local long arm quilters here does that one. Can't remember what it's
called. Very pretty.

I've been mulling over the idea of making a Dresdan plate quilt from all
the scraps that are collecting beside my sewing cabinet, and yours is
inspiring me to consider the idea more seriously.

Yep. A few months ago, my camera snapped the card
it was holding; first everything was bright colors, then bright white,
then disappeared, camera said it couldn't find a card or images.
Local camera consultant says, "Yes. Sometimes the camera
will destroy a card, esp. when the camera takes a hit, like
a tiny lightning strike, could be static, could be ghosts g:
Zap! Bang! Snap! and all your pictures are gone.
Get a new card." g
I download the picture cards after every session, afraid now
that some treasures will *snap* and disappear. G
I love the digital camera world. ;-)

Mine was made of scraps of feedsack fabric that I inherited from my Granny
Pete and my mothers stash when they passed away. Even the Muslin Background
was from a pile of "plain" feedsack fabric that they had saved. I had
originally planned to just sew the blocks together without sashing but a
piece of bubble gum pink fell off the shelf and I just figured my mother was
trying to tell me to use it. I think it turned out very well. The quilting
pantogram pattern is called "Chantilly" and seemed appropriate.

solid light green for the sashing..
