It comes around every week, and it is WIP Wednesday!!
This week is a bit strange. I have two solid quilty finishes but because they are gifts, I can't put pictures of them up! Oh well, maybe next week!
How about a sneak peek though. :)
Ha! I'm so mean. :)
I have a list of WIPs that need attention though. Let's see if I can remember all of them!
- August bee blocks (AusModBee)
- September bee blocks (IQBS)
- Prepare for October bee blocks to be sent out (my month!!) (AusModBee)
- Kat's Quilt ("Navigating by the stars") - it is stalled. I actually want to work on this while Kat is away galivanting around Europe and I am missing her horribly. It will be nice for her to come back to a finished quilt, right?
- Whitney's Swoon Quilt, AKA, the quilt that I just need to finish because I am the worst sister ever.
- Terrain challenge - I have been thinking about this one and I've decided on a simple pieced border. I just need to dig it out and sew it up!
- O quilt - It is cut out and ready to start.
- Orange & aqua quilt - same, cut out and ready to start!
My biggest WIP, for the next twelve weeks, though, is the Marcelle Medallion QAL!
I'm so excited about this. Danielle and Jeannette and I put the word out on Instagram last night and we have been overwhelmed with enthusiam and support! It looks like we're going to have a lot of quilters quilting along with us! It will be so fun to award prize packs and keep up with and encourage one another, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
I had to start pulling fabric for my Marcelle Medallion quilt today! Here is what I came up with.
I decided to stick to a fairly cool/cold palette of navy, blue, greys, and blacks paired with cool low-volume prints. I had a lot of fun choosing certain fabrics to add to these stacks - you'll see Mirrorball Dots, Pearl Bracelets, Architextures, and Constellations in the colors, and Maze & Vale and Lila Ruby King boutique fabrics in the low-volume stack - so this will have a much more restrained feel than my original Marcelle Medallion quilt, both in color use and in sheer scrap factor!
Whew. I can't wait. :)
On the list for this week are a few little quilting tasks!
- Write up the polaroid tutorial for the Sydney Modern Quilt Guild Swap!
- Organize a little stitchy get-together for some friends for the end of September
- Sew some pouches for prizes
- Cut some charm packs for prizes!
I also have one more thing to send...a present for a friend many miles away! More details on that later, if I remember! :)
How is your Wednesday going? How are your works in progress? Be sure to link up with Lee!
Cheers!
