Today I wanted to knock a couple of things off my February To Do list, namely for
Judith; the siggie blocks to go with her Brit Bee blocks and also a pair of blocks for Bee Blessed...
I will not fib and say that I enjoyed making these - so many pieces, trimming and pressing. My points are not perfect, they took
all morning, much to the kids' annoyance; but they are done and look better than I was anticipating at the mid-way point.
I was this (
this) close to stopping at making one, but as much as I dislike working on things that I am not feeling the love for, I am a stubborn madam, and did not want to admit defeat! Also I am going to be handing these over in person, so I am hoping to overwhelm Judith with quantity rather than quality!
Seeing as it is Half Term, I let the kids reclaim the dining table for some drawing this afternoon, so I joined in by pulling out my Joel Dewberry stash and colouring in the blank layout sheet for my
Orbit quilt...
I am so determined to use up fabrics that have been lurking, hoarded, waiting for projects, so as soon as
Lindsey posted about her QAL, I was in, and knew these fabrics were next on my
hit list.
The pattern calls for 13 prints, I only have 10, after excluding the browns, which I am saving (honest), but as I have all 1/2 and full meter cuts, I have managed to work out a suitable balance of repeats. I'd like to have these cut by the end of the holidays, but the overflowing ironing basket is starting to look beyond a little slovenly, so I may be otherwise engaged for a few days!
