A is for Alaska....a gorgeous pattern by Edyta Sitar...was gifted the templates and i've got the pieces cut and sorted into baggies...a project that needs attention!
the baggies are stuffed into a project bag...it's the perfect take along project...i know it won't be anywhere near the flimsy stage, but if i can finish a few of the block baggies (4 to each), that'll certainly be progress...
since it's now officially july and the hottest maryland month, have been working on those christmas stockings for the church fair...my homework is to complete 5 before next meeting, july 11th...
in the baggie of scraps were several twosies and hoping there are enough scraps to make a couch throw the center can finish and sell...at some point it should get cooler here....
and will close with a chuckle for you...
Be cool and sew on!
I love your new Edyta Sitar pattern/project!!!! The meme gave me a good chuckle!
ReplyDeleteOh my, your Alaska project is beautiful. Have fun with it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're going to have a great July sewing - wise. Alaska is a beautiful quilt and just thinking about the name will help cool you off a little. I enjoyed seeing your hst flimsy in the previous post. It is so colorful and fun.
ReplyDeleteThose Christmas stockings are lovely! They are sure to sell.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the Alaska quilt. I think that pattern is gorgeous. Can't wait to see your progress.
Hope you can stay cool.

Hip replacement; too funny! Thanks for sharing. Your Christmas stockings are sweet and cool to think about during the heat of the summer. Alaska is the "official" class that I am taking at my LQS as a BOM currently- as you know I have veered WAY OFF the path (to the northwest, I suppose) and have gone w/scrappy kaleidoscope blocks and stars using Deb Tucker's wedge star ruler. It's a good thing that the instructor puts up with me. Don't get me wrong, though, the true Alaska quilt, as designed by Edyta is beautiful, I'm simply being rebellious I suppose, all in an effort to use up my own stash of precut scraps.
ReplyDeleteI recall when Alaska first came out. I was so tempted, but knew the chances that I would finish it were very slim so I resisted. But I think it is a beautiful quilt. Your track record for finishing things is so much better than mine! I will watch your progress with great interest.
ReplyDeleteThe stockings are looking good!
I did get a chuckle from the horse cartoon. :)
