In order to have a quilt for the long-arm experiment, I offered to make a quilt for a local friend. On Sunday, we talked all about patterns and colors and sizes, oh my! She is so excited AND picked a really simple pattern to execute and some very fun fabrics out of the samples I had brought over (those elephants!!!), which makes the whole project much more fun for me.
I've got some accounting to finish for a non-crafting side project, but then I will turn to doing all the math/getting extra fabrics for this one. In good news, the instructions (see photo) are very clear about how much fabric of different intensity I need, and give a really good tip for how to sew 8 squares at once - so handy! I also need to reach out to an actual long-arm operator and make sure I have all their rules in mind for how much extra fabric they need.
Very exciting. :)
While I'm doing math, I will return to my grandmother's garden quilt to figure out how much white fabric I need to join up the flowers. After a year of sewing at every possible moment, my hands are itchy without something to do!
In the meantime, I've been continuing my work on the mystery cross-stitch. I have decided this one is fated for another pencil case, maybe for me this time? Here's the latest:
