This week is going so fast hard to believe its Wednesday
already. My husband has been out of town
all week for work so I have been doing some mindless sewing whale watching Orange
is the New Black. Have to say I’m a little addicted to that show right
now. I’m a few episodes into the second season.
So when I first started quilting four years ago I bought so
many book and one of them was The Civil War Sewing Circle. I feel in love with this book and as a new
quilter I got very excited and signed to buy kits for many of the quilts in the
book. That being said I never made one
of them so last Sunday I pulled out one of the kits for a doll quilt and
started sewing it was fun to make a quilt that you could finish in a day so
then Monday and last night I made two more.
They are so fun and I’m enjoying using these fabrics I normally don’t
use. I think I still have three more of these kits someday I will finish all of
them.
Saturday my husband and I drove to Olympia to meet my daughter
and her boyfriend at the SCA event they were attending. We had fun and meet some really nice people
and got to where our new dresses. I have included a close up of the neck line you
can see the chemise I made to go under it.
Chloe patterned the collars to be the same so just the trim would show. We have a store that sells the best trims in
Seattle and the one I used was vintage.
I’m down to only two weeks before my son’s wedding so I might
not be doing much sewing we will see it’s hard for me to stay out of my sewing
room.
Have a wonderful week.
Regards,
Lisa
