WIP 3.11





This week I have slowed down a little. It took a lot of stealth sewing to get my husbands quilt done last week and then the girls had both Friday and Monday off school and I didn't want to hole up in my sewing room. That said, I did get a new project started...


Completed:


New Project:


I signed up for a Pay-it-Forward handmade exchange on Facebook and decided to make bags for my 5 recipients. I am using a Keyka Lou pattern that I got at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics and this is one of the fabric combos that I am using.

Progress:



Although I am still behind on my HST, I did get some sewn together in a block. My goal this week is to get back on track with these squares. See the feather print on the right lower corner? I kept thinking I would really like to get some of it for the backing and the other day I found it a Hancock for $2 yard. Guess what I am using to back this quilt!


Sitting:

  4. I love love how HSTs look, in all their configurations. Congrats on the awesome $2/yd fabric score - I love that kind of serendipity!

    That toadstool fabric is fabulously adorable.

    Happy WiP Wednesday - I really like your WiP post headings/layout. May have to borrow the idea...
