Stories from the Sewing Room

Things have been pretty slow on the personal sewing front as I've been doing more work tasks. I am hopeful that I've addressed all my email issues by adding an external STMP service to both my business and my blog accounts. I was updating a few things on my business website and got hit with a notice that they are retiring the font I use. I guess that's the next fire to put out. Ugh. It never ends. 

As far as sewing, I am making a muslin of the Itch to Stitch Clemente top. I was feeling a bit  under the weather and sewed part of it right side to wrong side and had to deconstruct it. But here it is so far. 🤪 I have purchased several of this brand of pattern, but haven't sewn one before. This one is pretty straight-forward and the instructions are clear and easy to understand. Someone with the same measurements as me shared their top in the Itch to Stitch Facebook group, so I thought I'd try it. Of course, her measurements may be the same but in a different shape than mine, so we'll see. 

Oh, in case you're wondering, I have not made any additional progress on my sloper from Cashmerette. It requires more brainpower and time than I have right now.

I've started binding my Forever Neverland quilt. 

I've marked the rest of the race car quilt pieces, but haven't sewn them yet. I am very ready to be done with this project as it doesn't bring me much joy. I am planning to donate it when it is done and maybe it will bring joy to some kid.

I have not made any further progress on either Nancy's quilt or the current Meadow Mist mystery quilt. 

I have been really productive in the work area. I've been trying to keep on top of things as we begin the typically busy season which isn't shaping up to be that busy for me so far. 

I have completed and returned Teresa's quilt. 

I quilted Jungle Party on Teah's quilt. I'm so pleased with how this one turned out. 

I quilted Identity on Pat's pizza quilt and I will bind this one. {I was so surprised when I opened the box and saw lots of pizza fabric!!} It's hard to tell in the picture, but I used a yellow thread, Glide Buttercup, to blend between the different, high-contrast colors.

I quilted Starry on Susan's quilt.

I quilted Stipple on Deb's quilt.

And Basketweave on the runner she made using the trimmings from her quilt. Her quilts are always so precise. She usually alternates between hand piecing and machine piecing and both are well-done.

I quilted Malachite on Pat's quilt and will also bind this one. This one invoked memories of my childhood. Idk. 

Next week's group of quilts require binding too, so not sure how much more of my own sewing I'll get done in the near future. I'll be back on Tuesday with my regular post and Wednesday with October's One Monthly Goal post.
