I am not even sure where I had left off. Almost three months after coming back from India, I have started sewing and I can say, that is a clear sign of being settling down.
Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild asked if I could send them the samples for my upcoming workshops in July. Since I needed the original quilt for couple of presentations and workshops between now and July, I decided to make a new sample.
I pulled first box of fabrics out and it happened to be full of red and orange fabrics and so began the Marigold quilt. Needless to say, I got a bit carried away. There was no way I was going to finish another large quilt in time so I make a smaller sample and sent it it.
While I was working on the sample, I decided to make a smaller version of Rail Fence quilt too.. Just in case, I need another sample!
Yes, that's a shower curtain as a temporary design wall. These days, anything goes as long as I can continue working.
Gwen's baskets are in the making on the side too. I will come back with this post later because it deserves a post by itself.
Meanwhile there is a lot of work, social/family events and just plain old goofing around going on.
I presented at Stitch Modern event back in April, hosted by East Bay Modern Quilt Guild.
I also visited Baltimore Modern Quilt Guild and Baltimore Heritage quilt guild early in May. It was the best time I had on the east coast since I moved out.
I am looking forward to everyone's finished projects from both of those workshops.
