WIP Wednesday

Finishes

Easy Going Modern is my big finish of last week. Still loving it!

Easy Going Modern

Working on the workshop part of it now - writing the pattern and directions. Holy moly what a lot of time that's taking. And not least because in order to describe my piecing technique, I had to make a small-scale mock-up of the quilt because the actual blocks are way too big to photograph in process.


My Patchwork Posse workshop goes from February 2 through 15th - click here to register!

Week 2 of WIP reporting and I'm already off-list. Whoops! Anyway, I made a gift bag for a VERY belated Christmas gift using Jeni's now-famous tutorial.



In fact, I liked the tutorial so much (and I am so very lazy and didn't want to have to figure out how to size it up or down), I went ahead and did something I rarely do anymore: I bought the pattern. It's an instant PDF download and it is delightful. Best $6.50 I've spent in a while.

  10. Your quilt is so amazing! I know I'm way behind on things--the workshop looks like a lot of fun!

    I know what you mean about Jeni's pattern. I almost bought it this morning, and then thought, "I can figure out all the different sizes myself." Then I remembered, "Oh yeah, that probably requires math." So buying the pattern I am!
