Wow, I had no idea that this week I’d be running an infirmary over here! We’ve had Swine flu, pretty sure…and now I’ve got it too! I’m home from work today with Nicholas, who started running a fever (again) and I also have fever today :(
Even so, here’s a few pictures of what’s on my table these days.
Remember that picture of what I cut out last week? Well, here are the first few blocks.
And for those who guessed, it is Wild Thing by Thimble Blossoms using Santorini by Lila Tueller. I am LOVING how this is turning out! I think it’s just an excellent way to showcase this fabric!
I also got and finished Month 5 BOM from FQS! Ironically this block was designed by Camille of Thimble Blossoms :)
The color is a bit off in the picture, but as always, it’s using those Glace fabrics that are to die for! Love them more every month when I work with them.
And since I’m up to date on the monthly blocks, I figured it was time to work on the center star and start some of the sashing and cornerstone stars…since there’s going to be a lot of them…
So, I pulled out the fabric…
(even washed out, they’re gorgeous!)…and I started cutting away.
Do you get nervous when you cut into big chunks of yardage? I found myself getting nervous last night…like I was afraid to use it or something?! Weird…
That’s it for today. Hoping to get a few stitches in Jack’s stocking today. I think that’s about all I will have the energy for…what with this fever and all :(
See you all later…
It has been sent off today to mom who will be doing the finishing for me.
I used Sweetwater’s au.then.tic line of fabric for Moda. I had been eyeing this fabric for a while, and this was such a fun way to use it! I went back and forth on whether to use a back border or a green one…and I’m glad I chose the black in the end. The backing fabric is the green with black writing.
