August has started out as a great month to get things done. I don't know what has changed, but I seem to have more "umph" to get things done.
I was in a swap through a Facebook group (small swap, only 4 of us) for Churn Dash blocks. Here are the blocks I sent out:
The swap was to make one Churn Dash dark and the other one light using colors requested by each person.
I am also in Stash Bee this year. Here is the block that I did for August.
The directions given had the flying geese made with the technique that created 4 geese at a time. I don't remember doing that technique before (but I have seen it tons of times). . .wow! It worked great and I was really pleased with the result.
YouTube has been providing me a bunch of inspiration, again, and I followed a YouTube video from Tea Quilts (the link will take you to her web page) to make a "back rest" for my iPad:
The directions she provided were easy to follow and I am so pleased with the way it turned out.
Now I can watch my videos while I am sewing since I won't have to hold the iPad to see!
There was some forward movement on a couple of other projects but I did not get pictures of those yet. . . .
All in all this has been a great month, so far, and I am looking forward to spending more time in my sewing area soon . . . . I need to get projects done, at least to the flimsy stage, so I can make some room.
In peace and pieces,
Sherry
