I can't believe the week is almost over, and yet I have so many things still to do. I haven't linked up in a while, but today I wanted to link up to my friend Jennifer's blog, Studio JRU, for her Sneak Peek of the Week post!
I finished up a few things this week in my 'studio'...or rather the room where I sew. I love that Jennifer encourages us to join her Sneak Peek no matter what our studio looks like, or where it is!
I finished three gifts that will be taking a little flight this weekend.
I also managed to work on a quilt top that was given to me quite some time ago. A beautiful friend of mine pieced it and then passed it along to me. I wasn't sure what to back it with, so it sat idly by for months. I can honestly say it's probably one of my only UFO's ever...and I didn't even make it, so maybe it doesn't count? Anyway, last night I put it together and rather than quilt it, I tied it.
With her blessing, it will be donated to a local charity. Aren't those blocks beautiful!?!?!
I also joined the Paint Chip challenge that my Guild is hosting. You had to draw an envelope with a paint card in it...then the challenge will be to make a quilt no larger than 30"x30" using those colors. I was seeing a lot of fun color cards, but also a few ugly cards, and so I got up my courage and signed up. Here's my card...
I'm getting some help from my friend Chrissy from Sew Lux Fabric & Gifts Blog, owner of Sewluxfabric.com, to try and match this card to fabrics in her shop! I am hoping that she has something that will work for me. My eye is on one of her new lines, Late Bloomers, and I'm hoping that the colors match...she's checking into it for me! =)
It's sew pretty! =)
Well, that's a quick peek for the week. I hope you're having a productive week. I'll be packing lots of bags for overnights, week long ministry trips and more today! Busy, busy...fun, fun!
Have a great day and God bless!









I love the paint chip challenge! I wish my guild would do something like that!!
ReplyDeleteThe little bags are so cute and the quilt top is really pretty.
You have done a lot and have a lot to do, but that is good!
