Pussy Footing Around

Weather Watch (and Project 'G')

We shouldn't complain about the sunshine - I know! But I desperately want to get on with quilting my own 'Sew a Row' project, and it is just too hot in my loft! I couldn't even open the windows downstairs while Phoebe was staying with me!

After she'd gone home last weekend, I just about managed to finish Jenny's 3rd quilt, even though it hit 29 degrees up there with 2 fans going.

I was cheered by the arrival of some lovely new fabrics on Monday. 



There is a selection from Edyta Sitar's new collections 'Little Sweethearts' and 'Something Borrowed' (not all of the pics will format properly here).

And some more shades of Linen Texture.

 Pinks and Blues - Ooh How sweet!! 

 I guess I need to make a baby quilt - but have no one to make it for just yet. 

Meanwhile, I have launched into a scrappy quilt project (code named Project G). It is based on the 'OhMyGosh' design, but scaled up to make use of my 1 1/2 inch squares to create 3 inch 9 patches. 

I have made a little dent in my stash of twosies; and the half square triangles I acquired from Connecting Threads the other month are now trimmed down to size. So I'm off to a good start and now I need to cut into my stash.

Believe it or not the 9 patches in the original, pictured here, measure only 1 and 1/2 inch finished! (Hence the name).
I might be tempted to go that small one day, but I want to use the sizes I have first.







My other new project is a full size 'Bunny' quilt for Jane (who is just mad for rabbits!) and I'm about ready to start that one, alongside Project G. It is going to be a blue rail fence background with appliqué. Should be fun!

Happy Quilting Everyone!
