I've been just so inspired by wonderful quilters making wonderful things that I've only wanted to sit behind my machine and get to sewing!
This past Thursday we've had our first Featherweight Friends Bee, where a group of us get together and sew with our Singer Featherweights. Good fun seeing all those shiny little black machines humming and sewing away! My quilting friend Diana and I decided to make a similar project based on a "privy bag "
with the "rules" that the fabrics really shouldn't match, giving the quilt a "make do" look.
Having started with a packet of fabrics, I ended up digging through my closet and pulling almost all of my collection out: it's spread out in my sewing room, the living room, and the dining room! Ok, so things are a right mess at them moment, but my fellow home dwellers don't seem to mind all the colors scattered about. It just doesn't make sense to tidy things up if I have to only go looking for stuff later!
( How's that for an excuse...?)
Normally I'm not this bad when working on a project, I like to keep things relatively tidy to keep my scattered self organized. But I'm having so much fun finding 5, 6, 7, year-old fabrics that have been hiding in my dark closet. I can still remember where each scrap came from!
Well, now you know what I've been up to, and why it's been quiet around here on the blog. There's just so much going on at the moment, I'd rather just keep going sometimes that stop and go through ( what seems to be, but really isn't) the trouble of blogging. Silly really, since I love to share things with all of you!
Anyhow, I'm off to play with fabrics and my Featherweight, and I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!
