Hi everyone,
I finally got around to photographing the other things I worked on while at retreat!
Life is so busy…it was a whole week before I unpacked my sewing machine after getting back home. I think I was all sewed out! But I have worked on a couple of blocks today so the mojo must be back!
This is a pile of 68 blocks…only 100 to go! I got 50 done on retreat, I started this quilt about a year ago and it only seems to get worked on at sewing days – I don’t look at it at home!
I found this apron panel at Patchwork Angel. It is Kate Spain fabric….I thought when I saw it “Yay, something I can totally finish on retreat”! I lined it with white homespun and saved the little applique images to use on something else.
This is my progress on Hooterville….I have to admit I have done one of the branches since getting home from retreat. A great project to do when watching TV! Do you think the branches are too thin? Not that I can do much about it now, hopefully it will look proportional when I start adding the leaves and owls.
So that is it! It was a great retreat and I got heaps done so I am stoked!
No I love the branches, starting to look like it should...
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware that the branches are done by reverse applique. They looks good to me but you could always make the lover branches a bit wider if you wanted to. And your blocks look great too. You got quite a bit done while away. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteCool apron! I really love your branches - it's going to be beautiful! I'd love to know more about your process for doing it :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much you can get done on a retreat and have fun as well. Lovely apron Jess.
ReplyDeleteLooks like retreat was a success! Love that apron and totally love your branches!
ReplyDeleteBranches are looking good. Did you find a pair of Karen Kay Buckley's scissors?
