Garden Baskets Update and a Gif

I will share the good news first!

Regular readers of this blog know that I have worked 6 days a week (7 in December), split shifts, for quite a number of years.

No longer!

I finally have a routine day job 5 days a week, weekends off, and paid holidays!  Same job, but a nice little promotion.

This probably sounds crazy, but as soon as I adjust (How long can that take – ha!) I plan on cleaning house.  

Meanwhile, back in the Decompression Chamber, I have managed to sew up a few baskets for the Garden Basket quilt.

It has been enjoyable making up these baskets with the different colors!

My son and daughter asked me to share what I was learning in photography class, so this last item is for them.

I have learned how to take a time lapse and make a gif.  I chose to show melting ice cubes (I wish I had thought to clean the water spots off of the glass first.  Oops!).  This was a fun little project!

One of my sewing goals for this year, is to use some of the fabrics that I hand dyed years ago.

As you can see, I have enough for several projects!

Remember when I organized my paperwork (patterns, ideas, inspiration)?  While I was doing that, I was looking for something to do with the hand dyes.

I chose the Garden Baskets pattern designed by Janine Holzman and published in Quilters Newsletter Magazine 1997.

I have 18 blocks stacked and prepared for sewing.

This should be fun!
