Sometimes I get to try something New.

Sometimes I just have to give in to the urge of wat to sew some. There's binding to do on two projects, there's plenty more rule work quilting to complete and plenty of blocks to make for two new workshops. So what do I do in Saturday's Project Uninterrupted session, I decided I wanted to try something new. In my defense the technique is something I am considering in a project for my mum who wants a quilt for their new caravan.
My Pfaff was still set up from last week's ruler work workshop, so that settled it. I prepared my fabric sandwich and headed to my machine with the Westalee Designs Honeycomb template. I stitched it up.
The fabric is darker than this picture.

 Once I had it stitched it was time for the scary part of cutting out sections revealing the other fabric I used.
 I only had two layers but I could have used more, maybe next time.
Finally the last ring for this block. Once I am happy with it I will finish it off with a good press. I did enjoy this technique, so I am thinking about making some more and turning it in to a quilt. There is a good chance that it will become a future workshop I think.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching

Busy Busy Quilting

It has been really busy here. A lot has been happening that I haven't been able to share with everyone as it is secret retreat business. Our first Project Uninterrupted retreat is less than 2 weeks away and I am trying to be one step ahead on myself. I don't want a last minute panic if I can help it.

With that said I still had a couple of sessions of sewing in store that allowed me to slip into a free spot and join in the fun of the classroom. I need to do some ruler work quilting using the Westalee Designs rulers for a demo/ workshop next month and I have some projects that need to be finished.
This table runner is the first one on the pile and the smallest project.
I only used two Rulers to quilt the table, the blocks were quilted with the 6" spiral ruler from the sampler set and the sashing borders were quilted using the ruler that comes with their ruler foot.



By the end of the day I managed to finish quilting the table runner and got the first part on the binding on. Now I am ready to trim it up and finish it up.


Until next time
Keep Stitching
