instead of giving you a weekly run down, i'm just going to update you on things that are happening right here, right now.
okay, maybe not "right now" since i don't know what time you'll be reading this, or what i'll actually be doing. but here's the rundown of things that are crafty all up in hurrrr...
quilts in progress
in the bullet journal photo above, you'll see my key for a sample quilt i'm working on for caliquiltco. yesterday, we had a social distance sew day with some members of the sacmqg, and i was able to knock out a whole bunch of tree parts for this quilt!
i love how it looks, and while i have to redo the star tree toppers this week, it is turning out to be such a great quilt. i might have a hard time letting this one go! i'm using the northcott farmhouse christmas line with moda grunge for the background and the star on top.
i also shopped for another quilt in progress (well, in progress in my brain) and that was an event of it's own doing. shoutout to the joann's employee who helped us search bolts of kona white for two pieces that add up to 7 yards. HUGE appreciation to how our shop doesn't layer chunks on to the same bolt. super rude and super deceptive!
i'm also in talks to do a memorial quilt for my dear friend of clothes from her late momma as a sort of "hug from grandma" quilt. i super appreciate the trust she's putting in my hands, and its going to be a labor of love, so i'm super excited (and nervous) to get my hands on it.
speaking of bullet journal...
as you can see, i'm really trying my hand at incorporating it more in to my daily life. i bought rad & happy's planner last year, and happily dated it through 2020... well, that went down the "bad egg" chute, much like veruca salt... so using this bullet journal style more to keep track of things i'm working on, quilt layouts and whatnot will hopefully help me stay organized and on top of things.
i especially say that, because i got to sew day and searched through my pattern envelope for my quilt layout key... and it WASN'T THERE. clearly, it stayed home... so the sketch you see above is the one that i drew while at sew day.
video attempts... still coming
i was totally going to do a vlog post start to finish about the next quilt i did... which would have been this christmas one if i got my act together... but i forgot until i was already done cutting fabric. we still aren't in our new shop yet either, and might not be until some point next month... so in the meantime, i might come up with a bit more content somehow... someway...
riddle me this...
what kinds of things would you want to see video posts on?
i'm intrigued to hear your thoughts!
