Not Much Going On

I had to get a pile of marking finished - it's mostly done. I've finished a couple of books - will post them in the finished books tab. I started knitting a scarf made of silk - bought the yarn in Vancouver this fall - it's nice, but very fine.

W.I.P.

In the sewing/quilting world, W.I.P. stands for "work in progress". Some blogs I read have people link to the things they are currently working on - it's neat to see what other people are making and sometimes I get some really good ideas there. Since I'm packing, my W.I.P. this week is packing boxes - no sewing til after I move. Here's the sewing room in it's current state.

Next Project

I finished making drapes for a friend at school - I've had the fabric since Sept, but no time until now. The picture is only a small section - I spent a lot of time ironing them and didn't want to unfold them again. There are 4 panels about 100" long and lined with black out lining. They are heavy.

My next project has to wait until after I move, or else I won't get any packing done. It's a flannel quilt for the soon to be born baby of the owner of the drapes. I want to get it finished ASAP, in case the baby came early (which big sister did). Not sure how I'll lay it out yet - will think about it.

UFO's for 2012

I don't have an official list to play along with Judy at Patchwork Times. Here's my unofficial list:
-Caroline's baby quilt
-Angela and Brent's wedding quilt
-Mallory's quilt
-Kaelyn's first quilt
-Elissa's quilt
-Cadenza's quilt
-Irene's baby quilt

I'm also taking a class to make a Dear Jane quilt. It can't go on the UFO list, or nothing else will ever get finished.

Welcome

I've wanted to keep a blog for awhile now. I really enjoy reading other people's blogs. I also want a place to show off some of the things I've created.
