This morning, I slept in late (a rarity for me), and started my day with cutting and sewing Pat Sloan's 'Picnic' quilt, block 6. Took me just a few minutes to find the right fabrics, cut and sat down to sew. Had it all finished by the time my husband left for work. I love the design with the narrow borders and the little HSTs in the corners. They look a little like butterflies in the corners to me.
Monday, I started my City Sampler blocks. It's a Tula Pink design, and many (but not all) of the fabrics are from various of her lines from over the years. Can't wait to see how it develops. These are the first 10 of 100 six and a half inch blocks:
I'm especially not happy about #6, I don't like the sort-of-tan color, and might re-sew it with something a little more orange... and the almost white gray on block #9 is probably not going to look good against the almost white of the background. I may re-sew that one too with a different color - maybe a light blue or a darker grey. Until I decide tho, they will remain as they are.
Today is my birthday so I think I will take a little time off from everything, and then maybe sew a new curtain for my bathroom window... it needs to get done... two of my cats shredded the lace curtain that was up there before. I've picked a batik fabric so it will look nice from both sides (not that it matters much because the glass is frosted and no one outside will see it when the window is closed, and it's on the side of the house where only the dogs go most of the time anyway. Still, it will make me happy knowing it will look the same on both sides.
