So I've tidied
up my hobbyroom...
and I'm happy to say it looks pretty much like the pictures still!! Other than the blocks laying next to my sewing machine waiting to be sewn into another quilt top!!
I finished the quilt as you go String Block quilt! I realized when I was starting to line up the blocks to lay them out, that there was no way to layout the front and know what was going to happen with the back of this quilt. So I literally tossed the blocks in the air and picked them up randomly from the floor into a pile and than began sewing the blocks together! Turned out fantastic!!!
I put the borders on the Craftsy BOM 2012 quilt! I ended up adding the brown (basic gray, grunge) border in and like it!! At first I was adding it because I had run out of the white background and couldn't find anymore, and was going to have to change whites, but by a fluke I came across some in a quilt shop. I decided to add it anyway because I didn't think there would be quite enough white, and it all worked out!!
I made another wallet. This time I used upholstery fabric for the outer shell, and added the inset piece of fabric.
And completed block 15 in the Virtual Quilting Bee
and I know I keep saying next week, but this time I mean it!!! Next week this one(
should ) will be done and ready for its Post!!
and Day #22 in the photo a day challenge is nature.....last of the flowers as fall hits us...
I think there is a life lesson in this picture...even in hard conditions when you think nothing could grow or be beautiful... there is strength and beauty!!!
Happy Sewing!!!
