4+ A Week Progress

Well I did it for the first week.  It was not always easy crafting for at least 1 hour 4 days a week.  (I am glad I did not say I would do 5!)  On Sunday I got engrossed in what I was sewing and apart from the call for dinner I could have kept going.

I spent a lot of my creative time sewing all the little triangles for the centre frame of my Midnight at the Oasis quilt.  I am using a lot of scraps in this quilt, but it has hardly made a dent in my scrap bag.

I am rehearsing different fabrics for the background.  The triangles are very small (2 inches and fiddly) so I used machine paper piecing.  

I finished putting the binding on a quilt that has been languishing in the pile.

This is destined for a gift for a new baby.

And I cut and cut some more - squaring up ½ square triangles, cutting blocks for my orange peel blocks in the Midnight at the Oasis Quilt.  Did I ever tell you that cutting is my least favourite part of the sewing process.

I found that once I started sewing, I did not want to stop, it was just the getting started!  4+ a week is a promise to myself to craft for at least 1 hour per day 4 hours per week.
