I submitted my quilts to the Sydney Quilt Show (run by the NSW Quilt Guid), both were accepted.
I changed work clients, and am now full-time in the office, which means less time for 'puttering'.
I had a hysterectomy and am in recovery. (3rd week of technically 6, although in practicality, most likely 4 weeks.) Have a picture of my Plain Jane Passacaglia on my hospital bed:
My quilt 'Shades of Autumn' won the President's Award at the Sydney Quilt Show!
I started looking at fabric again. This was a BAD IDEA. Fabric lines like Eclectica by Dan Miller, Forest Chatter by Maywood Studio, Hibernation by Tilda... Softer colours, a less brassy palette than I used to do. I still love modern, but softer modern designs. Ugh. I shouldn't look at fabric and this is why!
Sydney Frocktails is coming up and I have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR dress patterns that could work!
However, I still cannot for the life of me find the Sew House Seven "Tea Dress" pattern that is an absolutely fantastic casual summer dress! I'm slightly annoyed! And the instant I buy it, I'm going to end up finding it again, aren't I? Because that's the way this works. *grumble*
Still want to enter the "low-value" modern quilt challenge with something provocative: "a new definition: taking up the lowest volume is peak white feminine". Which could really be done in any quilt pattern.
Hm...
I wonder if I could do my "Interconnected" quilt in low-volume? It's a thought!
But I don't have the time, unless I'm going to do the entirety of the thing THIS WEEK before I go back to work...?
No. Not going to manage that. Not even close!
Okay, going to do some more sewing of blocks for the Plaid-ish quilt that I was halfway through last year (the year before) before I got completely sidetracked in sewing/crafting!
