Busy 'til the Bobbin Ran Out!





I'm in a creative swing right now and my table is pretty much in a shrinking state of cutting space! But I really like what's happening, so I'm leaving the mess alone.

I have been working again at this quilt. It is finished in my mind's eye. I am having a lot of fun discovering new techniques as each idea gets ready to come alive in fabric.



These fabric piles are for {from the top}- letters - sky - sun - and leftovers that might still help out.




I ran out of bobbin thread into my last sun ray. It can wait. I am so happy with how it looks so far. Of course, the middle circle isn't attached yet, so it may not end up looking like this at all!

I did start adding the orange sashing to the Mystery Basket quilt top. You can see my blocks set out in last week's design wall post.

I'm pretty confident that I have enough orange to do the sashing. Not too sure if I have enough for the inner border. We'll see when I get there!

I took alot of process shots while working this week. {Especially of my letters and the sun rays!} I planning some photo posts with a little bit of commentary over the next week or so. I took the "Process Pledge" this week, finally. I read about it during the Blogger's Quilt Festival, but never took any real action on it. Now, I have! You'll see more step by step posts, thinking posts - and some mistakes even {aka 'design challenges"!} - as I share my process for some of my projects.

Check out more design walls through the links at Judy's blog.

With Joy,
Sarah Vee

  5. Good selection and progress on the mystery basket project. I sure like the way your sun is rising! Can you give us a hint on what the next pattern will be in your Imagine project?

  6. Looking very imaginative, Sarah! I like the sun very much too, and the sashing in orange really makes the baskets sing. My sister never says she makes mistakes--they are "design elements", LOL!
