It's been a great weekend for sewing here in the Northeast . . .
They closed down the roads in Connecticut,
so I was practically ordered to stay home and sew! Hehe
I made good progress on my scrappy trip around the world.
I thought I was done with 48 blocks . . .
But I think I want this one to fit my bed,
So bigger it will get!
I have 49 blocks now . . . I think I'll go to 64.
I also dragged out an previously pieced top, (PPT)
(nicer sounding than UFO I think)
to finish off for a charity silent auction.
This is my gypsy top that I pieced about two years ago.
A disappearing nine patch.
Straight line quilting about every two inches in both directions.
I will be so happy to find this quilt a home and raise some moola for a good cause.
And I will also be so happy to go back to work tomorrow and shed the cabin fever!
Did you doing anything fun this weekend?
Love your Scrappy Trip Around the World. I just started one and can't wait to finish it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty things going on in your world this weekend! My weekend involved snow removal and knitting. I got a good start on my new project - an Aran sweater. Lots of cables and I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteI made my scrappy trips a wide-ish twin for couch snuggling, but I'm trying to decide whether to leave it as-is, or make it into a queen for my bed. Glad you got more done this weekend than I did! After our lovely talk, I cut fabric, and cut fabric, and cut fabric, and didn't sew enough of it together before Downton Abbey, which is when I switched to hand work. No TV in the studio!
ReplyDeleteLove your bright Scrappy Trip. Good work toward finishing another "PPT."
