Kigwit's Thoughtful Spot

Yahoo Mail: Search, Organize, Conquer

So I've been working on a sample for the book club.  This is another Karen Montgomery companion pattern.  I cut into my Tula Pink ROAR fabric.  I don't know why but this felt like cutting money!  I love this fabric so much.  It might be the first Tula Pink fabric I've ever bought.  Don't get me wrong, I love Tula Pink but she's more into the intense, neon colors and I'm just not.  However, during the All Texas Shop Hop I found out that my DH LOVES neon colors.  He kept petting the Tula Pink fabric in all the stores.  Go figure!

The latest block for the Saturday Sampler.  I find that if I don't make the blocks immediately, I get too busy and end up doing it the night before!

I'm working on my son's graduation quilt.  I'm using the Cupola Views pattern by Karen Nyberg.  I'm also using her Earth Views fabric.  I didn't want to use the pattern's paper templates-I can't stand those-so I am using Jaybird's Hex N More ruler.  I think my hexies will be a little bit larger but that's fine because I'm making a queen sized quilt anyway.

It feels compulsive.   But no doubt I will be happy in the future that I can see all of my 30s solids. Also I'm working on a tricky pattern, was tired and talking to my sister on the phone. Yep, that makes complete sense.

I'm really loving the colors for this BOM.  These are the May and April blocks.  My sewing time has been limited-I'm looking forward to a long weekend for Memorial Day.  I'll actually be off for five days due to the last day of school and graduation.  I'm hoping that I will get plenty of rest and lots of sewing time.
