It has been weeks since I've posted any WIPs,
but now that fall is here,
and the kiddos are in school (sniff, sniff),
I suppose it's time to start again!
I've jumped in on the Skill Builder Sampler, and am loving it.
After completing the Summer Sampler Series quilt,
I decided that I really liked having a block (or 2) to make every week.
So I'm playing catch up on Leila's quilt along.
I've finished blocks 1, 6, 7, & 8 so far, and plan to work on number 9 tonight.

I'm still working on my For the Love of Solids Swap items.
I finally have a plan, and made some great progress today--
it's AMAZING what I can get done when the girls are at school for 6+ hours!
(I had kind of forgotten what this was like!)
The block is called "That Thirties Thing,"
a paper pieced pattern I found at
The Quilter's Cache -- a GREAT source for block ideas.
My partner likes green, and on her blog recently I've seen pops of orange,
so I hope she likes this mini quilt!

The only way to go, in my opinion!

And finally, I'm hosting the Blogger's Dinner Party this month for Kate,
and am working on aprons. Here's a sneak peak.

ReplyDeleteFun to see all your blocks and your solids mini quilt come together. That's what I like about WIP Wednesday: the chance we get to go around and see each other's blogs and catch up on what everyone's doing. And you're doing a lot!
My house is quiet all the time without children, but I kind of miss that change in seasons and rhythms. Those changes remind you of how sweet it is to have some time to yourself! Happy sewing!
