First priority was to get the backing made for En Provence.
Done. This is one side of the backing, the other side has the same pink/magenta strips. The backing used up all of the Geisha yardage and I have about a quarter yard left of the other two. It feels good to get some of these older stash fabrics into a project. My stash report will look really good this week. Next on the agenda is to get this back and En Provence pressed, prepped for quilting and packaged to send out. I'll probably wait till next weekend to tackle that.
A bit of hand stitching on the binding for Geek Chic also got done.

Two corners done, so just passed halfway with stitching down the binding. Hopefully this will be a finish by next weekend.
A bit of progress was also made on Vintage Dresses.

The third row is assembled and has been sewn to the bottom two rows. Just two rows left to assemble. I'm really liking how the sashing is working out. I'll need to make a finial decision on the borders soon.
So it was a good week in the sewing room. There was also progress on a couple of Rainbow Scrap Projects, but didn't get any photos of that progress. It was so nice to have the time to putter in the sewing room. Now I'm good to go on the sanity front, at least till tonight when I'm sure I'll need another dose of stitching to be prepared for what's looking like a really busy Tuesday.

I love those dresses. The sashing adds so much to the quilt. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteWell, you're getting a lot done. Sometimes those bad weather days are a blessing. We've had rain all week, which gave me a good reason to spend my time in the sewing room too.

ReplyDeleteUsually, I read your blog thru email so I was extremely happy when I decided to come and ask about your dresses and find out your blog header includes pics of three. Your header is beautiful!!! My question: how big is your vintage dress quilt measuring now? What size are you aiming for? It truly is lovely and one of my favorite quilts that you've made.
