Okay, so I didn't get a whole lot of creative sewing done this weekend. What I ended up doing was a whole lot of laundry and housework. Oh, the glamorous life I lead!
By Sunday afternoon I needed to do something, so I set up shop on the kitchen counter and started making catch-up quilt blocks. I had 6 blocks to catch up on. That seemed a little overwhelming, so I decided to work on half of them, starting with the most over due first. These are all for members of the Pieced Together quilting bee.
First up, Edith requested circles. That was the only criteria. It took me a few failed attempts to come up with something, but I ended up with reverse applique circles. This one certainly exercised my creative muscles.
Next, Kathy requested for a scrappy log cabin block. Easy enough. I loved all the Amy Butler fabrics she sent, so this one was a pleasure.
And lastly, a Stephanie wanted a spiderweb block. Again, I loved the fabric that was sent. Although I've done a block like this before, I had trouble remembering how to do one. I'm pretty sure I did the paper piecing wrong, but the block looks okay. Next time I attempt a spiderweb block using paper piecing, I'll need a refresher.
I don't feel like I got nearly enough done and wanted to do much more, but I'll take what I can get.
Thanks for all the well wishes on the Sew Mag piece! I'd also like to give a big thanks to Vanessa for featuring my blog today on MaxxSilly , thank you! Go on, check it out, you can actually read this one :)
