I've started to channel some of that energy and have started a strip quilt for my nephew. He's due in October, so that should give me plenty of time to get my act together.
As a side benefit, walking everyone through my process step-by-step gives me that much-needed blog fodder. And it allows me to show off the cool fabric I've purchased. CJ doesn't seem to appreciate it at all, so I hope someone looks at some of this and thinks it's cute.
So... Step #1: Ironing.
I hate ironing. I avoid it at all costs. I don't have a full-size ironing board, because it's just a giant waste of space in this small house. This is probably the thing I hate most about sewing. But, side note, isn't that owl fabric super cute?
Unfortunately, I picked an awful lot of fabric for this quilt and it all had to be washed (which is also a giant hassle) and ironed.
The cats typically keep me company when I'm sewing:
And now I'm starting to sort out all that fabric. I was clearly indecisive when choosing the fabric. It's just all so cute!
Stay tuned for more in between now and October!
