Why make lists and then forget to look at them. I guess that is what happened this month as I deviated from the list I had set at the beginning of the month. Well not fully off-track.
1) Penguin quilt
The top is done and looks sooo cute. Am happy that I plotted on and got it done. I bought a nice bamboo velvety backing so won't need to use batting. Today the heating system was not working so in stead of pinning the two layers together, I tried to see what the problem was and was too cold to work on the floor.
2) Slow stitching
Another block finished of the TP Sunrise quilt. They are lovely colours and the fabric is so nice to work with. Five down, 11 to go. I need to find a way to store the safely so the fabric and stitches do not damage while waiting to become one top.
3) Switchback
My aim this year was to make a handbag. A french quilt store is organizing a-sew-along of the switchback by Annie. A good thing the kit comes with the original pattern - I would have been totally lost otherwise; in English the pattern is challenging enough. Although I should say that as I follow the instructions step-by-step, reading the pattern gets easier. I am a bit behind with the sew-a-long and working my way through week 3 while just before the weekend week 4 was launched. Of course this threw off my other projects on my January list ..... Fabric is Kaffe Fasset - a delight. Actually the fabric was the main reason I decided to participate - a nice way to "meet" new fabrics.
Linking up with Patty at Elm Street quilts' January OMG
Those are great penguins! I will have to have my friend come look. She likes penguins, too.
