This week has been rather slow. On Monday I had taken an annual leave day and had planned to go out somewhere but I was tired and so I decided I would continue sorting my fabrics, thread and other craft related items. I try to keep everything tidy and organised so I can find things easily but recently I haven't always put things away properly when I've finished with them. This results in wasting time trying to find things. I started with my dress making patterns as I'd found a couple in with my knitting. The pattern box was oddly emptier than I was expecting so I spent time puzzling where I'd put them. Once they were located I started on the fabric. I want to make a couple of dresses and skirts as some items in my wardrobe have been around for a long time (I mean a very long time) and are now only suitable for wearing around the house. It's a shame as they are old friends and so comfortable! I found some bright red baby cord that is perfect for a skirt so I got the fabric cut out and ready for sewing.
This is the backing I chose. I have made a start on the quilting but I haven't got very far.
There are always some quilts on display in the shop and I took a couple of photos. Unfortunately there were no labels to tell me who made them.
Having sorted my fabric on Monday I took some time to check out the Japanese style quilt. This is my chookshed challenge for the month. I had ordered some threads and I've now received them so I need to cut fabric and copy the pattern onto it ready for stitching. I'll show you the pattern tomorrow.
