Gosh, my last post was in January! Where does the time go??
I have been working on my secret cross-stitch, and making wooden lilacs with mom (thanks to Margie), and preparing to try to fix some knitting problems; no photos for those.
I have also finally made some progress on the long-arm test quilt! I had to meet with my friend again because I wasn't sure I had understood her instructions properly and/or was second guessing whether purple and bright orange go together), and picked all the fabrics, washed & ironed them, and have been cutting out bits. See? I have more bits that aren't in the photo, as well, but they are already up by the sewing machine for the next step, so they will have to be a surprise.
The super cool thing about this pattern is that the artist gives you a great tip of how to make the blocks very easily - you cut these 10" squares, and then sew them up a certain way and then cut them some more, and you have the initial piece you need to build up larger blocks. I'm excited to try it!
