Prismatic Star Update

Today I had the pleasure to do some sewing. I have had limited time to sew and it has been playing on my mind. I have a big load of projects to sew over the next year and I don't want to get behind at this early stages.
I was using this little machine today. I don't use her very often, so she needed a run and working on my Prismatic Star quilt doing Foundation paper piecing is straight forward.

 It's like I step back to the 1970's with this machine but she runs a treat.

 My sewing space for today in the shop's classroom. It reminds me that we must fix the storeroom up so I can have a corner for a permanent sewing area. I have 12 more diamonds to make to complete the outer ring of diamonds in my star.

I managed to get the first stage completed, so I am ready to trim and cut ready for Sunday's sewing session.

My thinking was to get to this stage at least. Tomorrow I will trim and cut the strip sets for Sunday. A step completed each day, and if I get more done even better.
These diamonds, once I finish them will surround the centre ring of diamonds below.

Until Next Time

Prismatic Star Workshop

On Sunday we had Elizabeth Chadwick in store teaching us the Quiltworx Prismatic Star Quilt. It is a jelly roll friendly project but you don't have to use a one. I didn't use one and Shelly cut strips from her Cynthia's Ark Batik Fabric Club packs which she has been a member for quite a while. My Batik Club is great for Quiltworx projects. It give you a great variety to select from and then you may only need to purchase your background fabrics. Desert Sky is another Quiltworx pattern that I have done from the club packs. You can find more details and join the here.  Back to the workshop.

 Some action shots from my sewing station.

 You can just see Elizabeth's Prismatic Star quilt on the wall.

A bit of everyone's progress from the workshop. They are all going to be stunning when we get them finished. It's another great Quiltworx pattern and not as hard as it looks. With the right guidance it is very achievable.
Stay tuned for progress updates.
Until Next Time
