I’ve been busy in the studio!!! Not a day goes by that I’m not working on something!
Design Wall
Piecing
#1 House Wall hanging. I started working on a UFO. It was a little kit in a bag: A cute little house wall hanging. I must admit, that when I opened the bag, I was a bit disappointed with the “green” house colour. See the pale, olivy grunge … well it didn’t do anything for me. I substituted the darker green in the picture on the right. Much better, I think! Unfortunately, I do not remember where I bought this kit.




#2 June Island Batik Challenge: is in progress and being used as my leaders and enders. (Sorry no pictures).
#3 A&A’s Quilt: I’m still waiting on the final decision on what to do with the blocks. There is no progress since last week.
Quilting:
Speed Dating is now quilted. Need to put a facing on it and call it “done.” When taking this Improv class, Krista suggested that we have a story to tell with the quilt. I did not have a story. I still don’t have a story. Several of you had some fantastic suggestions, but none of them resonated with me. So this quilt is officially titles, “Story-less Improv.”

May Island Batik challenge is ready for quilting! (Sorry no pictures …)
