I signed up for Moda U last year at the shop where I work part-time. I was there for the "after party" from the previous year's Moda U and it looked like so much fun. Sadly, there weren't enough people for the Thursday evening class, so they dropped it. I still got my block packets, but no fellow students to encourage me to finish them. And so I didn't....
This year Joyce convinced me to join the Moda You Green Piece BOM. It wasn't hard to convince me - her blocks have been displayed in the shop for the last few weeks and the fabrics are just beautiful. We had our first meeting last Thursday and the group is really fun. It will give me a reason to finish my blocks each month for "show and tell."
Here are my first two blocks - each month we will have 2 pieced stars and 2 wool applique blocks. The wool hasn't arrived in the shop yet, so we won't get started on those until next month.
I also worked this weekend on Cindy Lou Who for the Year of Schnibbles and also made good progress on my stunt sewing project (rows all completed, half are sewn together!). Yes, that's right - I have 3 projects layered on top of each other on my sewing table. This is NOT how I usually work. I work on ONE project at a time. This is making me certifiable. But the good news is - I'M SEWING AGAIN!!!!!
What has happened to you??? Three projects going on a one time??? You have truly come over to the dark side! Can't wait for more pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, those are absolutely gorgeous! Love the colors so much!!!! Multiple projects?? I think maybe all these years of hanging out with me has been rubbing off on you. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI Love that block, it's amazing how many different looks it can have. I was admiring a quilt made out of that block at a show last week. It's on my To Do list.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are feeling well enough to sew, sew, and sew some more.
YEAH for sewing! I'm so ADDHD that I can't NOT work on multiple projects at one time.
ReplyDeleteI loved your first comment...that you're on the dark side since you're working on three projects! I guess I'm right there with you...and now I'm seriously considering GreenPiece as well!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have ALWAYS been certifiable my friend! ...and seriously, I'm glad to read you're sewing again. Your friend through the dark nights (hee). *karendianne.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear you are sewing again, Lisa! I hope that means you're feeling much better!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
