2022 has started well for me, although I don't have a finish yet, which has frustrated me a bit. I quilted the sawtooth star quilt, spending time quilting it with various free-motion patterns in the blocks. Looking back over my blog posts, I realised that I actually pinned it back in July. However, I haven't made the binding or attached that yet, so that will be a February finish and photos.
I've been working on the next round of the Quatro quilt, cutting pieces using the templates and starting to glue baste them onto the papers. I have worked out how many pieces I need to cut for each round, and am pretty hopeful that the fabric I have will be enough.
I'm still working intermittently on the elephant wall hanging for my friend. I'm much closer to finishing now; but I find it hard to work on for long lengths of time. I keep on needing to make so many decisions on which way to go - which colour, block, size, up or down, left or right, too much or too little, etc. - that I need to walk away regularly to give my brain a break. When I come back to it feeling fairly "fresh", it is easier to work on it. My friend's birthday is in August - I'm really hoping it is finished well before then!
January 2022 fabric tally
Sadly my daughter lost the apron I made for her business, so I made a quick new one last week for her - once I had bought some new printable fabric sheets. No picture of the finished apron though. That's the only finish for the month though.
