Fall Break
Last Thursday night was the get together at the Crafthouse for the Exhibit Block Swap. Look at the fantastic blocks I got back! I had such a fun time meeting some of the girls who made these blocks. I had been following some of them on Instagram and it was great to meet them in person!
I got one of the blocks I made back and I got one from Kristie! :)
The pattern is called
Exhibit by Eye Candy Quilts.
I can't wait to put them all together!
After all that excitement, I lost my motivation to sew. But, I did organize my scrap box and I folded some of my stash.
The only sewing I did over break was potholders. These things are for a friend who teaches dance. When I saw the cute ballerinas, I knew I had to make her something!
Saturday, we took some school kids to see the opera Otello, live in HD at the Ross.
After the opera, I spotted this colorful mural in the alley! I love the color combination.
Then a quick drive across town to watch the school marching band perform. The wind was blowing and it was chilly!
Oh! I did try a disappearing nine patch for the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild's charity quilt. I've never made these before but I like the idea, I may make more with some charm packs I have lying around.
And a couple more potholders for an owl lover. I ♡ this fabric!
I'm hoping my motivation to finish some projects comes back this week!
Here's to a productive week!
Nice work on the scrap organizing! I managed to get mine all in better order recently. Looking forward to see how your swap blocks come together!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alissa! I organized my scraps and promptly made a new mess with them haha!
DeleteOh gosh, love the pics, the potholders, the blocks, the walk the drive the potholders and the flowers!!! the organizing not so much..hahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteA block swap sounds like it would be so much fun! This will make such a awesome quilt and I love the randomness of colors, prints, and designs.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I only know one other quilter in my area.. there aren't a whole lot of us in Germany. We are in an online bee together, so it should be fun when it's my turn.
Oh, and I'm thinking that mural would be a great background for a quilt finish... hmmm.
Looks like you are/had the perfect fall break!!
