Passages - 3 Studios Quilt Challenge 2010
Another Sneak Peek
I've been working on the quilting for this quilt, and that's really what is left besides the binding. I'm pretty sure it will take me the next couple of days to complete it and I should be able to show it to you on Saturday. For the moment, here are the threads I'm working with:
Here is a sneak peek of the background quilting. While these stitches look huge, in reality, this is a about a 2"x 1.5" section of the quilt. I'm working on my free motion quilting, so these little quilts are a good opportunity to do that.
Meanwhile, just so things don't get too boring and slow around here (it is Spring Break and the children are home, so there have been some changes in the regular sewing schedule), I do have these projects planned for this weekend and next week. First, the Great Vintage Shirt project for the month of May made up in yellow stripes (I think):
Second, a skirt from Burda 4/09, #101B. This will be made in red pique, I'm not sure whether I will keep it a-line or change it to a straight skirt. I'll see when I get it made up.
Parting Shot: Snuggle. My husband sent me this photo while I was away last weekend. Wellie decided he wanted to sit with my husband while he was watching TV. Wellie isn't a lap cat, so it isn't often he decides he wants to sit with someone.

Ooh, I like the May shirt pattern!
That vintage shirt pattern is gorgeous - yellow stripes would be lovely!
I love this new blouse pattern. I like the shape of the collar. Looking forward to seeing how it makes up. I traced the Burda skirt last weekend, too, but I'm not sure about it yet. I was intending to make a winter version in brown cord. I've always been a cat person, but a dog adopted me and I love her. She has always acted more like a cat than a dog and two nights ago in the middle she climbed up and sat on my pillow just like my cats always have. I think she is really a cat in a dog's body.
You have the greatest blouse patterns! And the skirt is barely a-line, if you decide to change it, you won't need to make much of a adjustment.
I think Wellie is a very affectionate cat but just doesn't want to show it!
Cute shirt pattern. Nice lines.
I really like that Burda skirt pattern too.
The vintage shirt pattern is very nice. Looking forward to that.
Rusty doesn't like to snuggle either. He likes being close by though.
I guess Wellie sensed just how much your husband missed you while you were away... Cats are very sensitive. :)))
