two projects got pulled from the shoeboxes yesterday and i spent the entire day sewing! still no work, so the sewing goes on and on. the wallhanging is a pattern i bought in PA last year. all the pieces have been cut and placed; the "white" pieces are freezer paper and the yellow dots are pins! i'm hoping it will be done for halloween but we'll see. the second photo is an atkinson designs pattern from 1995, "pinwheel patches," done in heirloom lilacs from 2006 (i know the date from the selvedge!). i think it's properly aged by now; i'd like to get this top done this week and put the remains in my stash. that'll give me about 7 small projects in the flimsy stage. some blustery winter week i'll get them all finished at once, no doubt! i've also been working on handpiecing some amish pinwheels. it's a lofty goal, but it would be nice if all the squares were done by the end of the month. there will be an intricate quilting motif medallion (i love the hand quilting part) and i've a wool batt set aside to use. the same 2 quilts have been on my bed for some time now, so i think a change is in order, don't you? i'd like to get it quilted before winter, that and the 30s lovers' links.
