Work in progress Wednesday - or why I would like a design wall.

 I think I need a design wall. That way I can keep track of my UFOs. I try to only have one quilt on the go at anyone time. This does not always work. For starters there are two quilts that need to be quilted.
After much uhming and ahing I have decided to make a log cabin quilt out of some lovely Rowan fabrics. Again if I had a design wall and not a floor the colours might have looked better on this photo.

 I got distracted by trying to sew curvy patchwork. This is mainly to prove to a friend that patchwork isn't just "cutting squares and sewing them back together".

 I am trying out a red white blue thing here. Might need an orange back for this one to make it really Dutch.

 I am helping my Eldest (10 years old) to sew her first quilt. It is very colourful. I am quite impressed with well she is doing.

Talking of the 10 year old. She has grown again and needs a new summer dress. Luckily I had this lovely Benatrx print stashed and will be cutting into that soon. I have traced the pattern and altered the back. She felt it was a bit bare for everyday but might like it with the heart shaped back for her leavers party next year.

So all in all I'll be quite busy. Fingers crossed there will be a Friday finish but I don't think there will be.

I am linking to WIP wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

Sleeve board revamp.

 There has been lots going on here. The girls were in their school's version of Oliver. The performance was great. I have to hand it to the teachers they really got the best out of those children. I have done lists of little bits of sewing. I keep forgetting to take pictures.

 Anyway the sleeve board was in need of a revamp. You can see the old cover underneath.

Cute owls are a must I think. I wonder if I have enough to redo the ironing board?
