Progress



I'm still here. I've been very busy for the last week. Can't believe I have nearly finished a challenge 6 weeks before the competition. I'm usually doing them in the last week! I can put a photo in here because only one of my friends in the club knows I have a blog. This is all made from selvedges. I cut them off all my fabrics and a few friends have given me some too. I've run out of the bright green for the centre so this is as big as it gets. Selvedges are really interesting and some are quite gorgeous in their own right.




I've also cut most of the fabrics for my mystery half nighter quilt - 38 different fabrics and a dark, and a light (I have to cut them into 2" stripes and sew them together before the night).
And now I've got another great idea for the Go green challenge but I'll keep that one to myself for now. I have to work out how to put it into fabric ... the old grey matter ain't slowing down yet!

The Book has arrived

Wow, it's arrived. My new book called "Quilts from the Selvege Edge" has arrived. I found out about it through the Selvege Blog .. have a look in my favourite blogs!
I've been cutting the selvedges off all my fabrics and now have a large plastic container full . I have to choose a pattern. I'm thinking log cabin with little squares of green in the middle. I'm making this for our club challenge in May.. the theme is GO GREEN! they are all so different, some quite arty and colourful. It's going to be fun, different but fun! Have to get my a into g.. it won't take long especially since Symposium is at Easter!! I have procrastinated tonight and went to visit a friend instead.
As for the scales. I thought they'd got stuck and hadn't moved for 3 weeks... but they have.. I gained .2 haha. Watch this space!
