In between soccer presentations, Father's Day & the usual weekend chores I did manage to get some time in my sewing room.
I am off on a quilting retreat this weekend so I have dragged a couple of projects out of the cupboard that I have been meaning to start/finish for way too long.
The first is a quilt by Cluck Cluck Sew called Seville & I am going to use a stash of fat quarters that I've had tucked away called "Lovely" by Sandy Gervais. I've cut out all the fabric needed & I may have gotten a tad excited & sewn together some of the blocks.
The other project I am taking away with me is another Cluck Cluck Sew pattern called Inside Out. I am going to be making the baby size quilt. I've had the main fabric cut up for about 3 years!! all I needed to do was cut the background & border fabrics. For the life of me I do not know why it has taken me so long to do this, or even why I was making a baby quilt in the first place! I do figure though that if I finish it off & pop it away I will surely be able to eventually gift it to someone special. It has been so long since I started this one that I can't even remember the name of the fabric range - terrible I know!
Anyway I have done the prep work & again I may have started some chain piecing.
I also spent a little bit of time doing some more hand quilting on my Gardeners Journal quilt. This is the first time I have attempted hand quilting & although it is far from perfect I am definitely enjoying the process.
