Four exciting things to report this week:
1. Margie was here!!!! Amazing.
2. I showed Margie the fabulous mitosis fabric (technically a dress, but I ordered size 5x because a) there weren't many sizes available, b) I didn't think I would want to wear a whole pink dress, and c) that assumes I'm going to do something else with the fabric, so I should get as much as possible!). She immediately saw that it should become pajama pants, so that is the plan. I found a pattern I already had in the house for that exact thing (theoretically a 1-hour pattern; it does indeed look straightforward), and I've already deconstructed the dress into its component parts. Most of those are now in the wash, though the binding around the neck has made for a very nice kitty toy. :)
3. I've pressed open the quilt blocks that you saw in the top left corner in my last post, and sewed & cut more quilt blocks (and there's one I have to fix a little, not yet cut). See?
4. Next week, I'm taking a staycation! I think I will make it a challenge to complete the quilt top and pants, and do some regrouping about what my other projects are for this year. I am dreadfully behind on my 25-in-25 goal.
