Hearts A Flutter

Remember, I told you about the sample Veronica was working on for the January Cut Loose Club. She is done and it is be-you-tiful.

Come join the club on January 19th (10AM-2PM) and start off fun-filled 2013 with your sewing buddies. Happy Valentine!

New Arrival : Modern Texture

Cut Loose Club

Cut Loose Club meets once a month on the third Saturday. We sew patterns using precuts(that's why it was quick paced and fun). It was a wonder Veronica and Cecile have been coming up with pattern after pattern to sew with precuts. It was even bigger wonders that everyone had fun finishing their amazing quilts, emphasizing the word 'finishing'.

 

Cut Loose Club had 2012 year-end party on December 15th. Members joined with their quilts and had show-and-tell, having wonderful time.

Please expect to see more exciting Cut Loose Club in 2013!

Next Cut Loose Club meeting will be on January 19th (every 3rd Saturday),10:00 AM -2:00 PM. It is titled 'Hearts a flutter', so you can guess it is Valentine related. As soon as Veronica is done with the sample, you will see it here.

Are you crazy about Kaffet Fassett?

Upcoming event - "Meet the Teachers"

Green Tea and Sweet Bean

I have been counting the days. The day I had my hands on the Green Tea and Sweet Beans pattern book by Jen Kingwell all the way from Australia, I was excited then realized it was done all by hand. I expected as much but to confirm that, I went "Oops!"

However, the more I looked at it , I just had to do it. By the third day, I was completely hooked on the Green Tea and Sweet Bean. But I did change one thing. I was doing it by machine. Now I am exhilarated to conclude that this project can totally be done either by machine or by hand.

My goal was to finish it in a month. It was ambitious, I know. I finished it the day before the Thanksgiving, a week longer than my plan but not too bad. I felt marathoners high or rather "quilter's high". I could not even begin to put in words how I felt, looking at my accomplishments. 

I was able to sleep in next morning, first time in 6 weeks. Tomorrow, this goes up in the design wall at the Sewing Party. Then I will adore it with full enjoyment.

I have not decided on the border and quilting design yet. As soon as the whole quilt is done, you will be the first to view it. So see you back here soon!
