Friday Night Sew-in - What I Did

I actually managed to do some sewing for this FNS! Amazing, right?!

Tonight was all about chain piecing - I need a frightening number of subunits for my Double Wedding Ring project - 161 of each color arc. That's what I did for quite a while...

So, what I have right now are 95 green arcs (need 66 more) and 34 orange arcs (need 100 more and lots more pieces!). I have to count out the number of centers and footballs to make sure I have the right numbers - I bought extra Kona Berry in case I needed it.

While I was at work yesterday, I decided that I had to participate in the Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along, so I sent the 111 page document of paper-piecing templates to my local OfficeMax to print this evening. I've also decided that I essentially have to start over on my Dear Jane blocks - the six or so that I completed have been scattered all over the apartment and are looking pretty sad. Rather than wash them and pray, I'm just going to start fresh and newly ambitious.

I know... I must be insane. TWO sampler quilt projects, a DWR, the tutorial series...  I also made a pact with Sandi that we're going to each enter the local quilt show in May of 2010 2011, so I want to get start quilting the top I've decided will be my entry.

Anyway, I'm rambling. Time for to get started cutting fabrics again. Progress to be made yet today!

Friday Night Sew-in


I'm finally child-free for the first time in a couple of weeks!  My Laffy Taffy Basket is pin-basted and ready for quilting.  That's the goal, you know.... Finish my DQS 10 mini so that I can get it in the mail next week.  Deadlines are such great motivation for me.

A Sew-In

Heidi, of Handmade by Heidi, is hosting the first Friday Night Sew-in of 2010!  She's got several people signed up, and will be doing a give-away to one lucky participant.

The idea is that on Friday, January 15, 2010, we all sit down and work on whatever projects we like - sewing, scrapbooking, knitting...  What ever makes your heart happy.

On Saturday, January 16, 2010, post about what you worked on, preferably with some pics to show off.

Sunday, January 17, all participants will be entered into a give-away!

Sounds like fun!
