As mentioned back in April, I am a member of the Crafty Gemini Organizer Club. I made a couple of the projects, but haven’t been able to keep up the pace since the beginning of April. After getting the Octagon Nine Patch ready for the quilter, I decided to work on a club project.
For reasons you will find out later, this project not going to be part of the set. I chose the ice cream cone fabric, because it is super fun.
As you can see, I am part way through the project. I cut the mat slightly larger than the pattern called for to accommodate larger machines.I have bound the vinyl pocket and basted it to the main fabric, but have gotten no further.
Crafty Gemini projects are known for zippers and vinyl. This project only has vinyl and I have an idea in my mind to make several of them for gifts. I saw another similar project in Issue 35 of Love of Patchwork & Quilting magazine. It looks very similar with a few differences. I am thinking of making that one to compare the two projects. Stay tuned to see if I do it. I have a lot of plans for gifts.
It certainly is a fun fabric, made me look twice. Crafty Gemini is such a good teacher. and a pleasure to watch online, though I’m not in any of her clubs. I look forward to seeing this progress and the gifts you make.
Thanks for reading. It is hard finding time lately to finish this. I don’t have much to go, but it is taking forever. I love this fabric, but it is hard to find good uses for it.
