A Little Carried Away

I got a little carried away making wonky curved piecing blocks for an upcoming workshop in Whistler, at the end of the month. I know I've been sort of missing in action, the last little while. So losing myself in these demo blocks today, was pure delight!!!




These Grunge fabrics by Moda are pure delight. I'm using layer cake sized squares (10 inches) rather than the 20 inch blocks I usually start with, because I want smaller blocks to demo.

Some upcoming renovations should just add to the chaos that has been my life lately..... but......new cork floors in my studio will be fabulous. Yes I know....it will be craziness but sooooo worth it.

    Wondered where you were!! I missed you :) After moving myself over 2,000 miles, I'm just getting my sewing room in order. Would love cork floors in my room. Love the curves :)

      That moving thing can be such a pain....and it does seem to take forever setting up the studio. Thanks and yes the cork will be fabulous.

      They are lots of fun, that's for sure. I don't think I'll be in Victoria for the November meeting....that's too bad.

    Thanks Carrie...I have a tutorial on this technique and there is a fabulous little video on peicing curves by Leanne from She Can Quilt on there, that is really helpful.
