Familiar UFO's

Familiar UFO's

I have had some time over the last week to begin unpacking my sewing/weaving/yarn space.  I will share a cutting table at the shop with the kit makers and the Block of the Month team, so am trying to organize the space so that I can have all of my stuff... and still keep space free for them to work. I have put up the projects I was working on when we moved...(the ones that my long-suffering spouse had to pack up to move...another story, but lets just say he is a true hero!). It is good to have my familiar UFO's in the range of contemplation again.

This is an inner city wall hanging, that just needs quilted. The blocks are pieced using English paper piecing with half-hexagons from Paper Pieces. This quilt was pieced by some of us at the Port Angeles shop quite a while ago and was so popular I never took it down to quilt it.  I love this block  and think that I will start a larger quilt using my collection of Kaffe Fassett Fabrics. It will be a good project to quilt on my longarm, after a 6 months separation, we need to become friends again.

Now....... I will just wait for the first fall rainstorm, and I will be ready to putter.  The workspace is in the loft at the shop, and the rain makes a wonderful sound on the roof - tea, a project or two, and a spare evening, I will be set.



This is a wool and cotton applique from an old pattern booklet by Blackbird Designs.  I have a hooked rug pattern drawn from the same design.

I think that this black and white version of a Happy Village is going to work....you can't see it in the photo, but I have also used some black and white photos printed on fabric of doorways and windows that were from photos take in Chinatown in Victoria on one of our many trips there.
