June and I met yesterday for sewing day. She was a lot more productive than me. She made a Thomas the tank Engine mat for her grandson, Hayden. He will be two next week. She also whipped up 8 little treat bags for his birthday party.
I worked on a pattern called Bumble Bee by Edyta Sitar. We are going to use our chartreuse Martha Negley Oak print fabric and some beautiful greys for this pattern. Only thing is... the blocks are too small for what we want, so I set about to enlarge them. Took all day, but finally the two of us were able to do it. At least, we think we did!! Time will tell. Now I dream of my new quilt in the works.
Late Note:
See the date on this post? Well now it is August, 2012 and look at the finished quilt top!! It was a real booger to make, but worth every bit of frustration. I love it, but remember it is just a top, not quilted yet...
