It's been almost two weeks since my machine broke and still no phone call from the repair guy, grrr! So, to feel sort of productive, I decided to take inventory of my wips and pet them a little.
I love, love, love these nine patch blocks. I'm using Comma by Zen Chic (adore this line of fabric) in combination with different low volume prints. I wanted to turn them into a mini for our bedroom wall but now I'm thinking of adding blue to the mix and making enough blocks for a lap sized quilt.
Another project using some more Comma (can you tell I really like this fabric?), is this improv log cabin quilt. This quilt will be 36" x 36" square, and I'm making it as part of log cabin challenge in our Naperville Modern Quilt Guild.
And then there's this vintage tapestry of sorts my mom sent me. I'm thinking of adding a fabric border and turning it into a wall hanging. Aren't this pattern as well as colors so pretty?
Of course, I have quite a few smaller projects calling my name too, but these three are the main ones and I hope to get to them asap. Fingers crossed that my machine will be "healthy" soon.
Wishing you all a very lovely day. Svetlana
I love your comma blocks! May need to add some of that to my stash!
ReplyDeleteStill no machine? So sad! Your wips are lovely though. Those Comma 9-patches are simple and perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm sewing with Comma now too. Prepping for a class later this month. I love your blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the Comma line as well. I scored a scrap bag on etsy from the fabric designer, probably scraps she used to make the quilts for her patterns. So cool. They are kind of random sizes and maybe nine-patches or improv blocks would be the thing. Your projects are really inspiring me. Hope your machine is back to normal health soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your improv log cabin , so calm & pared back .
ReplyDeleteMy fingers and toes are crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE COMMA! Love this line of fabrics. So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree, the fabrics are gorgeous!! I like the improf log cabin blocks, the white fabric makes it really 'modern'.
ReplyDeletelove your improv log cabin....and the little tapestry your mum sent is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your machine...I've been there before...do you have a back up one?
ReplyDeleteLove your little blocks...and Wip's. Have a great day.
I also love your nine patch blocks! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'd go nuts if I couldn't use my machine. This makes me rethink selling off my old one when I get a new one.
ReplyDeleteI really like your improv log cabins. I like the low volume fabrics. I'd like to try this some day.
I love the improv log cabin; the placement of the red is especially effective.
ReplyDelete2 weeks? My mind is boggling slightly for you - I really hope he phones soon! Great blocks, and I love the colours in that tapestry
ReplyDeleteI love your projects - I love the comma fabric line as well :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! I love, love your log cabin blocks!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your sewing machine fixed soon. It must be frustrating not even hearing back from the repair person.
Love comma, too, and that tapestry is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am WAY behind in blog posts - I'm so sorry you have been without a machine for two weeks! I'd be pulling my hair out :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Comma blocks - I think this is one of my all time favorite lines! I have some fat eighths but haven't completely decided how to use them yet.
Gosh I'm loving those Comma blocks! I have a charm pack set aside for something special -- it's such a great color range!
ReplyDeleteI love the log cabins, you are inspiring me to do some improv too.
