WIP Wednesday Week 13 3/28/12

It's WIP Wednesday, a great day to look over the past week and make some goals for the next week. I actually feel like I accomplished a lot this week and hopefully the next week will be just as good. Lots to do, so little time!
This week has been focused on samples I have to have made by Saturday for our teacher preview party. I'm doing a couple new classes, so have had to make samples this time around. I made the Twisted Heart pattern from Let's Twist Again as a baby quilt class using the Lil' Twister ruler. I had it all laid out and sewed it together Monday night.


Tuesday during lunch I cut it all out and kept it neatly stacked. My friend Gaila showed me an awesome way to label my block stacks, so it was really easy to keep them neat and organized. Last night after Mikaela went to bed, I sewed together my Twisted Heart. I wasn't sold on the background, but kept going with it.

I cut out and added the borders and now I actually like how it looks. It needed the bright borders from the Twirl line to really make it work! Another top done and ready to quilt. I also picked up my stitch regulator on Friday night and installed in Sun. I quilted a piece for a sketch book cover and I'm excited to be able to do more detailed designs now!

Saturday night my friend Gaila invited a few friends out for a Swoon party. We've all just gotten the pattern and decided to work on them together. Emily couldn't join us, but we started the Swoon blocks at Club Sew last month. The one on the left is the one I had done, the one on the right is the one I did on Sat. night. Boy can I see a huge difference. I've decided to do all of them with the color like the one on the right. I think it shows off the Terrain fabric way better and that's my "focus" fabric.

This is the quilt I quilted last week for Heather. I got her permission to show it. Doesn't it look awesome? It's a photo quilt she did with the Happy Hour block and put photos in that were printed in brown/white to look like old time photos. 

The Swoon party blocks at Gaila's. I just love her lime green and pink walls. She put the string up, so we could show them all together. I also used her huge living room floor to lay out my Merry Go Round quilt. It's all in stacks and will be pieced on Thurs. night.
