Sew Day turned out better than I expected. I threw a bunch of different projects into my large Chubby Charmers<\/a> and went to Sew Day. Everything I brought would at least be a start to something.<\/p>\n

First, I got out the Old Town<\/a> instructions and worked out what I needed to do for the border. I am glad I did! I thought there was a Sawtooth border and I was in for hours of pressing and trimming HSTs. Nope. There is no Sawtooth border. It is all squares and I have pretty much made all the pieces. Yay!<\/p>\n

After that the real work got started.<\/p>\n

\"Morning<\/a>
Morning Flower Patch & Pencil Roll start<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I decided that for the July Organizer swap, I am going to make a pencil roll. I also decided that I would use the fabric I bought at Family Threads for the pencil roll. In addition, I will use more of that same fat quarter pack for the Morning Flower Patch quilt. Cyndi showed me her version and it caught my eye, so I decided to look up the pattern and make one. I was able to cut the 2.5 inch colored squares for that quilt along with the strips I need for the pencil roll. It took me awhile, but that accomplishment got me off to a great start.<\/p>\n

Mary was working on her Tara Faughnan project and really got a lot done. I took a picture from the last Sew Day, but never posted it. The colors she used are very Southwest feeling.<\/p>\n

This will be a quilt for her daughter’s birthday. I really like the strong diagonal motifs.<\/p>\n

\"May<\/a>
May scrap progress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After finishing the cutting of the Family Threads fat quarter pack<\/a>, I started cutting scraps. I know I have done this at the January<\/a>, February<\/a> and  March Sew Days<\/a>, but I still have not finished cutting up my scraps. This time I made really GREAT progress. I took my Desktop Cube<\/a> and the adjoining zipper bag of scraps and came home with only the Desktop Cube full of scraps! I feel like I accomplished something.<\/p>\n

Of course, it was over too soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
