A quilt for my mother in law Gloria.
It needs 4 more blocks made. 2 of the simple 9 patch and two of the one with the stars and small 9 patches.
The blocks can then be joined, maybe a small border, layered and quilted, ready for Christmas.
BUT instead, a dear friend of mine, who is a sweetie and who knows who she is ;) Has enticed me into starting yet ANOTHER project not long after, I may add, after tempting me with ANOTHER project, which we will talk about another day :))
The second temptation is a clamshell project using the new Inklingo program. This led me to join the Clamshell Club see the button in the right hand column.
I have been working on it today, though I haven’t got very far… nothing new there ;)) No it isn’t sewn yet, this is as far as I’ve got. I then got stuck wondering where on earth I was going with it. LOL… It is set on a piece of Chocolate Moda Essential Dots which I bought for yet another WIP!! I thought I could use it with these soft pastels to make it a more ‘grown up’ whatever project. The pastels came in a bundle of FQs from The Quiltroom as the Fabric Club selection for this month. It is Flutterby Garden by Buggy Barn. I found on Quiltshops.com that there is a chocolate that may go with these. It’s in Buggy Barns ‘Sherbet’ range and has little pastel dots on it. I may have to buy it. :))
Anyway, that’s all for now.
Happy Quilting,
Hugs Ellyx
Elly Dear,
ReplyDeleteI love the clam shell in the soft pastels on the chocolate.
I have yet to print any out. Maybe this afternoon. My problem is I can't decide what fabric to do it in. I will have to do some stash shopping first. I am sure I will have to go to the better stores...LOL.
Hugs,
Frummie
Oh, BTW, I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, how this post made me laugh!! I am constantly being distracted by new projects and just have to start them! Which is why I am now trying (operative word there is trying) to make small doll's quilts or wall hangings.
ReplyDeleteYes, Elly, you and I share the same friend -- who shall remain nameless, lol -- I'm still struggeling to get some more stars sewn up! *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt you have designed for your MIL! Can't wait to see what you decide for the final borders... applique??
NO clam shells yet... need to d/l!
Your blog update is FANTASTIC! Love it... ok, didn't mean to write a book! lol
Hugs,
