Last weekend, Mandy from fabulous Simply Solids asked her blog followers to come up with suggestions for a name for her new quiltalong, and before fully engaging mouth and brain, I came up with the idea of 'Log Jam', it just seemed right. Anyhoo, Mandy, and a surprising number of others deemed this to be the most apt, and bingo! Thank you ladies x
I was going to sign up anyway, but now the pressure is really on to come up with the goods!
If you are interested in a log cabin style quiltalong, using a Jelly Roll, then check out the flickr group already. I've never used a Jelly Roll, so I am quite excited about this one.
The partner info has also been issued for the Mug Rug and Goodie Swap, so I will be getting going on those too; so watch out ladies, I am watching you; and if my partners 'on the other side' are looking in on me - coo-eee! Here's a sneak of some cutting, not saying for what or who though...
Last night, in a bid to be ahead, I chain-pieced all my cross 'ears' for the Across the Sea QAL, thinking I would be way ahead, but no, today's instalment calls for piecing the whole blocks, oh well!
I have also been playing with ideas for my Scrap Bag Challenge, I may do some trial runs with my own scraps and charms, but hopefully the 'competition scraps' will arrive later in the week and I can get making for real.
So I am having a terrific Bank Holiday Weekend so far, and I have something so cool to show you tomorrow x
Yikes! You have done it now, Hadders! *sniggers* Hop to it, woman, time's a-wasting! *sniggers* I do love that red print in the 2nd photo...A very Arabesque tile pattern, lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh...tantalising!! Log jam was such a good suggestion - I've never used a jelly roll, either. In fact I don't think I've ever even met one IRL!! What line are you using?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great name.......I have never used a Jelly Roll either.........
ReplyDeleteKids will be in school soon. You'll be fine. Sew all day, sod the housework and dinner prep. Prioritise!
ReplyDeleteLol, I was so proud of myself having cut the ruddy blocks for that QAL last night, when I discovered I have to sew them all together today! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI also didn't read the instructions very well for my homework for the swap either, I'm just going straight to the back of the class..
Hadley, you make me tired just thinking about it. Thank goodness the kids are heading back...you'd forget to feed them with all of that quiltin' going on!
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of Naming! Good one, but I am going to resist this QAL, despite log cabin being one of my all time favourite techniques - no I really am resisting, promise! Jxo
ReplyDeleteSpotted that last night :-) Congratulations! I'd say something about you being on a winning streak, but we'll see about that eh? :-P lol Do very much admire your organisational skills though, I'd be panicking in your shoes, all those pies....
ReplyDeleteI have every confidence in you Hadley and I hate to admit it (really I do) but your name was the best and I`m so happy (gritted teeth) that you won!
ReplyDeleteIt is a superb name and we bow down to you Queen of Naming! I was tempted too but I am stretching myself way too thin so either have to finish lots first or pass on this one!
ReplyDeleteI agree- you are the Naming Queen!! (Twisted Sister!) Log Jam QAL sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteOoh, you are busy!! Your cutting peak is very tempting looking :-)
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know where you find the time! Now don't get all muddled up and sew your crosses to your logs, or anything like that :) x
