Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I have been sewing fairly steadily for the past month or so. I am making progress, but don’t have any finishes – or any large finishes – to speak of. Somehow I feel like I am in a morass of projects and not able to move forward. It is as though I am sewing in … Continue reading “26 Projects – December 2016 Edition”
I spent a lot of time Sunday through Wednesday performing Thanksgiving prep tasks. I am sure many of you did as well. I decided 3 pies would be enough and since I planned to buy one (shocking I know), I didn’t have as much prep as in previous years. Also, many of my clients went … Continue reading “Pre-Thanksgiving Work”
The last time I reviewed my list was in July. I have made some progress, but not a lot. August was pretty much a desert for getting projects done and I was gone in September so no sewing then either. I was ready to rock in October and am making some progress. Finished 2016 Quilt … Continue reading “26 Projects – November 2016 edition”
I haven’t reviewed this list since April! I suppose I have too much other content to report on.

In my last post on this topic, I was feeling as though I was on the verge of finishing several projects. I have two large quilt projects well in hand, but nothing else, really. I guess that means I am still on the verge or was mistaken or could have been experiencing a bout of … Continue reading “May 2016: 26 Projects List”
In my last post on this topic, I felt like all of my sewing work was heavy and unmovable. Fortunately, that feeling has passed. I have made some progress. I am also still thinking about working slower. Finished 2016 Quilt Projects Flower Sugar donation quilt (I feel odd putting this finish here as there is … Continue reading “April 2016: 26 Projects”
March?? March already? What happened to January and February? The last time I posted on this topic was back in December and that was a great post, because I had accomplished so much. So far this year, there is a lot of hunting and gathering going on, but not many completions. It is all about … Continue reading “March 2016: 26 Projects”

I have been working on the EPP project while watching TV instead of sewing the sleeve on to FOTY 2014. A week or so ago, I was in desperate need of some dots on white, so I spent quite a bit of time cutting fabrics to make some stars for the alternate rows. I can’t … Continue reading “More EPP”

I missed another couple of months. I sewed very little in June and May was very hit and miss, so I suppose posting the same thing over and over would be boring. I sewed for awhile with wild abandon and it resulted in some quilt projects I delivered to the quilter, but it wasn’t that … Continue reading “July 2015: 26 Projects”
I have made my half hexie star project larger. I like making the stars and, as I have said in the past, they are great for a traveling project. However, I seem to be obsessed with making the ‘top’ piece larger. I don’t know why, but when I sit on the couch to watch TV … Continue reading “EPP Details”
My English Paper Piecing half hexie stars are growing into a giant cluster. I forgot to rotate the photo. What I think of as the bottom is the line of stars with the dark green and Philip Jacobs flower print on the diagonal on the left. I have some diamonds that will make the border … Continue reading “EPP Growing”
I have been working on my Half Hexie English Paper Pieced Stars since August of 2012. I really wanted to see if I could actually take out the paper templates and use them again. I sewed four stars together and went from there. I would have felt a lot better if TFQ were sitting with … Continue reading “EPP Stars Go Together”
I had a great time at the meeting Saturday. People showed some really great work and everyone seems to be looking forward to the Retreat. The next Sew Day is June 7, 10am -11pm. Once again, I can’t make it as I will be in Vancouver for work. My trip will be fun, but I’ll … Continue reading “May 2014 BAMQG Meeting”
