I still haven't tried out my new ruler foot, but I have drawn off the practice project suggested by Janet Collins in her Ruler Quilt Design Book. She is an accredited Westalee Design Teacher, and I'm so glad I got her book. I chose to use solid pink fabric for the practice piece, and it took me a long time to draw that irregular design onto my fabric. I haven't tried quilting in each of those blocks of various sizes. Hopefully I can try to do some of them later this week.
Last Friday I went to an estate sale that supposedly had lots of fabric and sewing stuff. There wasn't much quilt fabric, but here's what I got, including a bag of lace and a few crochet pieces for a project someday. I really needed all that, didn't I?

I go to my first therapy session tomorrow for my shoulder. It's better already, but still needs a little help I think. Thanks for all your kind concern comments on my last post.
That's about it for now.
Keep on inspiring me with your blogs, but don't be tempting me again!

**clap hands** Your block is terrific. That's a lot of tiny pieces though. I see you rescued some fabric that was about to become homeless. Thank goodness there are kind-hearted souls like yourself to care for unwanted fabrics. Wish I could make you sign - Love's Fabric Shelter. Also good news that your shoulder feels on the mend and a little therapy will help it along.
ReplyDeleteThe best news, by far, is that your shoulder is feeling better. Therapy should help get you back to normal. Your block is lovely. I think one block a week might be do-able, even for me!
ReplyDeleteYour block looks great--nice job!
ReplyDeleteIt appears that you found some good, usable pieces at the estate sale. The one with all the writing on it looks interesting.
I hope your therapy session goes well.
LOL--I will try not to tempt you with anything. : )
I'm so glad to see you're back in the sewing room. In no time that quilt bug bite will flare up again now that you've started. I look forward to seeing the quilting project!
ReplyDeleteNice block! It was easier than it looks, don't you think? Tomorrow there will be another one. Looks like you got some good deals at the estate sale. Looks interesting and I'm sure the fabrics will come in handy, maybe for your church quilting group. I agree with Katie and think you will be getting back to more quilting soon!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your shoulder is feeling better. Love your pretty block. Red, white and blue is one of my most favorite combinations! You found some nice fabrics to play with, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you have started sewing again Love. Thank you for the book recommendation. I bought a ruler foot and need to get the hang of it. This book might be good start.
