Lets Sew Quilt Along

Posted on August 15, 2019 | 11 comments

Block 12 of Segment 3 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is called Rotary Cutter and is designed by Sandy Maxfield of Sandy Star Designs.

I love this block!

Quick, easy and fun to make!

The rotary cutter must be one of the all time best inventions ever!

I no longer have a floating boo-boo on my last block.  It isn’t technically correct; the leaning bolt ought to have background on the bottom, but just imagine that the fabric has slid down the bolt, so you don’t notice.  Ha, ha!  I am done fiddling with it!

“When the time has come, every leaf turns to face the sun!

It doesn’t know if it has to, but because the call has reached it:
Not knowing what to expect, it will, move slightly, twist patiently
and try to embrace whatever is coming!

It might be too strong, it might be too weak,
it also might just be perfect!”

Candace Project 6

Posted on August 13, 2019 | 18 comments

I haven’t felt this intense about a project in a very, very long time.

Except for the accursed day job, and having time constraints, I am using every moment that I have to work on Candace.

It isn’t actually work…it is play.  

I forgot how much fun it is to play.

I was stumped with her hair.  I only want to pull from my stash, and I had a difficult time of it.  All my browns are too red, or too green, or too orange… too dark, too light.

I finally called my Hubby into the sewing studio to get his opinion, and his opinion was of help.

But what helped the most was having a chat with myself. 

I forgot how much taking the creative process too literally spoils the fun.

After my little chat with myself, I got back to playing.

And I really, really want to shop all of the batik fabric sales that I can find!
