Slow To Get Started

This year has had a slow start but I'm on a roll now. I spent the last week in California with my Dad, cutting fabric and cooking him dinners to put in the freezer. His bar is the perfect height for me to cut for hours on end with no side effects! I have never cut so many squares in such a short time. I left my machine at home so I wouldn't get distracted from my cutting. I'm really excited about my Dancing Stars project.

Squares for Dancing Stars  Jan 2013

I cut thousands of squares including the white ones. I have a sewing day with the girls tomorrow so I am excited to get started.

 

I have cut enough squares for 300 blocks! King size?

I finished this quilt from my leftover Dresden Plate scraps. First finish for 2013!

No Negative Space Jan 2013

Dad has lots of dinners to eat and I have lots of fabric cut. It was a good trip.

Happy sewing!

I'm going to start 2013 off with a Block of the Month, a quilt along and a whole list of projects already started. There is not going to be time to slack. My sewing room has to be cleaned up in order for all of these things to be accomplished. I did a kaleidoscope quilt along but never a BOM. I challenge myself to keep up!

I finished my MQG mini quilt exchange today. I thought I would never finish. Good thing because it is due tomorrow night! Will let you know how my exchange partner likes it.

Sewing at the store for a few hours tomorrow. Maybe I will work on my No Negative Space quilt. This is a quilt I started because I found a box full of Dresden Plate leftovers. The background was chosen by my friend Rickie during a discussion about fabric for another quilt. If you squint the background almost looks solid. Maybe? I know these fabrics are old but they were already cut! It is twice this size now. I love it.
