Today I’m working on my “Too Good to Cut” Challenge quilt. Poor little project, I’ve been neglecting it for several weeks and working on other quilts instead. But…according to the guidelines of the challenge, it has to be totally finished — quilted, bound and labelled — by December 31, 2010, so I’d better get busy! [...]

It seems like ages since I last worked on this quilt. We had a two-week family holiday at Easter-time, and last week I had to catch up on real life. This week I’ve been in a baking frenzy because I found this wonderful blog, Confections of a (Closet) Master Baker, and I just had to [...]

With the Easter holidays, my young child out of school for a two-week Spring break, and plans to visit with various family members, I’m not going to have very much time for sewing in the next couple of weeks. It seems like a good time to take a little break from the “Too Good to [...]

It was another week with very little time for sewing. When I did get a chance to sew, I was totally obsessed with my pink UFO Makeover quilt and only sewed on that. I did look through the basket with my Challenge fabrics and bits of blocks but didn’t feel inspired to work on that [...]

My daughter’s school celebrated Book Week this week in conjunction with World Book Day on March 4, and one day, the students were allowed to dress as characters from their favourite books instead of wearing their usual school uniforms. My young daughter recently had an opportunity to meet the author John Malam, and she received [...]
Too Good to Cut, too tired to sew

This week I spent every bit of my sewing time working on the birthday quilt, and I’m very pleased that it was done on time. But I was very tired when I finished it and needed to take a break from sewing today. I haven’t sewed on my “Too Good to Cut” Challenge quilt at [...]
