Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I made a little progress on Scrap Dash over the weekend in between parts of the UCAB and Triple Zip Pouch. I am still using it as leaders and enders, so I can’t help but make some progress. There was a lot of machine foot switching while I worked on the Ultimate Carry All Bag. … Continue reading “A Little Scrap Dash Progress”
Material Obsession: Modern Quilts with Traditional Roots by Kathy Doughty Material Obsession is one of the first books written by Kathy Doughty.

I still have 7 projects on my WIPs list, but only 3 (4?) of them are really old. Two projects, from the “In the Quilting” stage, are ready for binding.

I just noticed that I have only 7 projects on my WIPs list. I have really made progress, which is a good reminder that I need to focus my efforts on not filling up the list again.
