Let's start this WIP Wednesday with a shout-out to regular WIP Wednesday participant Bree—it's been 40 weeks of WIP Wednesdays for me, and 40 weeks of pregnancy for Bree! You made it, girl! Hope you're doing well, and maybe Goose is here already? Fingers crossed!
Anyway, not much happening around here. We've been crazy busy with a birthday party for my 5-year-old(!) and getting ready to go on vacation. After we get back, the whirlwind that is back-to-school hits. But I have managed to get a little done.
New projects:
My design for the Connecting Threads fabric design contest took much of my time this past week. Voting is now open in the contest, so please click here to vote for my fabric, if you haven't already! (It's the fourth row down.) And a great big THANK YOU to everyone who has already voted! Your lovely comments about my design have been so encouraging.

This week, Leila gave us a sawtooth star/Star of Virginia block, using Kate's Summer Sampler Series tutorial. Although I've obviously made this block recently, I was more than happy to make another one!

ReplyDeleteBirthday parties can be both tiring and fun. Particularly nowdays. People do so much more then we ever did. A few kids 4-5 at the house, cake and ice cream, and a game or two. Now it's adults and kids, rarely at someone's home, you rent out a place and have lots more then cake and ice cream. Do kids even know about the cool game of pin the tail on the donkey now? lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the contest, the fabric is awwesome. You list of projects is making me tired, lol. Looks like you're making good progress though.
I voted for you, beautiful fabric design!
ReplyDeleteWishing you well on your fabric design! That's pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your fabric design!! SO pretty! Good luck in that competition!!
ReplyDeleteYour Virginia Star is beautiful! I am still having some Flying Geese trouble, but I'll keep practicing! :)
Happy WIP Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteI just voted for your fabric which was my favorite in that category. Blue is my favorite color. Then I spent another thirty minutes enjoying all of the other designs in the other categories. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI know! I am so not ready for back to school! I love the bikes! Oh my gosh! That's your design? Looks beautiful and professional! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI keep talking to others about the quilt alongs, and still hope some day to find the time to take part in some!
ReplyDeleteWhat's fun about a weekly check-in is to see all the growth that's taking place in us as quilters--and you especially! Wow! Now fabric designing, and it's a lovely design--hope you win!
