Precious QAL

I'm a bit late out of the gate on this one, but I realized when I was working on my 

(D)ouble (W)adding (R)ing Quilt that the fabric I was using fit into this category! 

I decided to use "Fandango" by Kate Spain

I came across this fabric after they stopped producing it (of course)

but I was able to get my hands on some nice sized pieces

Then, the ever fabulous Jess offered to add to my Fandango supply

And here is where we're at - 22 arcs pieced, only 58 to go

unless I decide to make a bigger quilt, then I need more..

I'm so excited to see this quilt come together, it's so bright and cheery!

Happy Tuesday

W.i.P.

What? I have a W.i.P ?!

Well, I have works in progress that are goals..

1. DWR arcs - 12 down, 10 more this week

PLUS, the amazing Jess saw that I was using Fandango and 

graciously offered to send me some scraps

I greedily immediately accepted!

All cut up and ready to go!

2. Night and Day quilt - these are squares made by the talented ladies of the We Bee Modern Too bee

 

I have a few more to finish up

then i'm making some to add to the bunch

I'm thinking this needs some gray/ash sashing to tone down the busy-ness 

thoughts?

3. Mystery Project

Sorry, no pictures, recipient reads the blog

but you can see them through my instagram

4. 3x6 quilt blocks

I'd like to get the test block done this week

5. We Bee Modern Too - August

done!

6. do.good stitches - August

no progress.

Lastly, 

A new blog hop i'd like to tell you about.

Soma is running it and she has roped me in convinced me I can do it

She's running an October paper piecing event where everyday a new blog will post an original paper pieced pattern for free, that is affiliated with Halloween.

Now, I personally have NEVER made my own pattern, however,

with Soma in my corner, I think i'll give it a shot

Go check it out, she's got some more spaces to fill 

She's welcoming everyone, newbies, intermediates, and advanced so if your

looking to push yourself outside your comfort zone like me to improve your ability

jump on board, we can help each other!

:)

As always, i'm linking up with Lee

W.i.P. Wednesday

It's been a long time since I linked up for this, but here goes nothing!

Summer is OVER here, school started last week 

and after ending late on the east coast and starting VERY early in the Pacific

Summer was basically nonexistent..

1. DWR Quilt 

My DWR arc pieces are cut and ready to go -- 

who knew a friendly push could help as much as it did

My lack of sewing is a bit frustrating,

hopefully more sewing this week..
