Tea Towel Medallion Quilt Challenge

CLEAN.UP.YOUR.ACT. is pretty much the story of my life. I make a mess, I clean. I make a pile. I make another pile. I get rid of a pile & another pile surfaces. Sometimes the piles are s*#t and sometimes they are treasures. Sometimes they are both. Just like my life.

This was a challenge from Victoria Findlay Wolfe's 15 Minutes of Play blog from back in January. Technically we were supposed to be done at the end of March but Victoria is soooo nice and supportive and just wants everyone to make things --so many contributors are still posting their progress. I just started with earnest last night. I wanted to step out of my green & grey box but I don't think that's going to happen with this project! I need to make fabric from the 5" squares shown and am working on how I'm going to do it. It will be improvisational but I don't want to start cutting and sewing until I have a sense of what I want the final design to look like. I really like the fabrics and don't want them to be too small....


Quilt Tiles!

Saw these in the New York Times today....
So simple and beautiful. I want.

Scout

This is Scout. She loooves quilting. Almost as much as she loves prosciutto. She was playing with the thread while I was trying to sew. Bad kitty.

SUPERNOVA!!!

Supernova!!! Thanks Katie Pedersen at Sew Katie Did! I LOVE my Supernova top. It's not sewn together yet but it will be before the week is done... and I already have plans for another. It's quite a puzzle to put together but I just numbered all my blocks with tape (that's what all the little blue things are) and lined them up... and voila!
