[workinprogress]

We are very much in school holiday mode.  The mornings are short, the afternoons and evenings are endlessly long, especially now that we've welcomed daylight savings. 


I am feeling a little off task so far this week, but I have finally managed to turn on the sewing machine to commence a new project.  I love my stash of solid fabric and probably should make an effort to work with them more often.   After much fabric auditioning I have finally settled on three solid colors that I hope will work together to complete my vision.


  • Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Coral (red)
  • Robert Kaufman Kona Cotton in Canary (yellow)
  • The solid green fabric is from stash, and I am not able to match it with any of the swatches on my Kona Color Card. The closest Kona Color is Candy Green.  

The rotary cutter has been busy ~ although I don't generally like to cut too far in advance when I have not  completely finalized "the plan" in my head.   I am going to make more blocks and then will contemplate the layout.   So far, so good.

I hope you are having a good sewing week!
