They tell me I only have 10 weeks to go until baby arrives. So I am trying to get a few creations finished in the next 6 weeks. I have tons of inspiration, but not much time. These are (some of) my favorite Christmas presents, they are now a fixture on my bedside table and have me dreaming of beautiful new creations;
I have 2 baby quilts planned, this one finally pulled together after a trip to Cloth and Bobbin last week. Some of the fabric was in my stash from the summer but together they look amazing! A peek;
Lots of work around here. Paul fixed the sheetrock in baby’s room and has been spackling for days. I think I will get to paint this weekend. I finally decided on a mural- and I will try to remember the before, during and after pictures. Pawning off stuff on friends to make room for the baby. Seeing lots of theatre shows (and laughing loudly!) and trying to get in some social time with friends before the big baby event. Still time before Christmas to finish this quilt, I might even start another!! Oh, and a picture of the dog being an activist at a rally recently.
And pink minkee? Well… it was in the off-cut bin with a good markdown, and I love a good markdown.
This is called a “card trick” square. They have always been very difficult for me. I have tried a couple different ways to make all the little points line up and quite honestly- this is the best I have ever done, and it is far from perfect. I seem to loose the outside points every time. I always revisit it after I give up in frustration but I have never been able to make them well.
