W.i.P. - For the Echo Lovers

No change concerning the stats, just some shifting from ongoing to stalled to ease my mind, but some definite progress with two projects. First, I posted a pic of my nearly finished summer dress on Sunday. Can't wait to wear it soon.

Second, there's the anniversary quilt. I've finished the first of three sections as well as a third of the other two each.

Here's the bottom right corner piece. It didn't fit into the other pic.

This top is coming together nicely and quickly. Guess I should order batting soon and make up my mind about backing. Maybe an all turquoise backing? Maybe a print? At the end of the day, there's a deadline to meet (a year ago today I had my final wedding dress fitting!) and I think I might be making a trip to Ikea soon in an effort to score some nice but cheaper fabric.

Weekend Wrap-Up

I had a wonderful long weekend filled with friends, food, fabulous conversations, and some sewing. Not only have I been working on my anniversary quilt, pics of the state of things following soon, I've also been spending time on this.

I still need to finish one side seam allowance with zigzagging and some hand stitches but then I can attach the bias binding and then...I can finally wear it if the weather is game! Do you hear me, weather? Play along, please.

Hopefully your weekends were just as fulfilling and relaxing as mine.

Take care and happy sewing!

W.i.P. - The One That Could Have Been Spoiled by Work and the Kitchen

Well, work was more demanding than expected - not complaining, honestly! - and the husband's reworking of our kitchen has taken over this flat and all available space - even less complaining, I've been anticipating a proper kitchen for months! - so my wonderful collection of WIPs is still just that - wip-iest WIPs and nothing new to show since last Sunday.

One of my recent Fabric Tuesday link-ups has, however, been highlighted in this week's post - the nephew's quilt top. How terribly exciting! (Thanks for alerting me, Jeanette. I doubt I would've checked this week without you.) And it's really another layer of motivation to finish this beauty once my sewing machine and sewing dinner table have been freed of kitchen appliances and crockery.

Updated stats for the record - there has been progress and shuffling since my last WIP post, after all.
