Out in my garage, there is a mountain of boxes, all labeled "Studio". My Studio is more accurately the Studio-That-Isn't, so the boxes remain unpacked, much to my frustration. I know that many of you have been wondering, What's the hold up? Well, to be honest, the answer is simple. Money. The bad news is that my husband has been unemployed for quite some time. And the good news is that he recently got a job! Woohoo! So, the work on the studio is definitely going to happen, but not for a few weeks. Once we get started, I will keep you all posted on the progress.
Meanwhile, I have been trying to make the best of things, and spending some time sewing in my unfinished studio. The biggest problem is, every time I start in on a project, there is some tool or reference book or material that I think I need, which is packed up in one of these cardboard cartons. I know, you told me to label the boxes elaborately, so as to know exactly what is in each one. Did I do that? Well, not precisiely.
Ah. This one looks promising. Kind of a vague description, but let's see what's in here, shall we?
I started rummaging around over the long weekend, looking for another project to work on. When I opened this box, labeled "Project Boxes" (one of eight just like it), I really didn't know what I was going to rediscover.
Oh my gosh, it is the Designer Mystery Quilt from Fatquartershop from a couple of years back 2008! Now, for some reason, finding this abandoned Christmas project really got me excited. I love those fabrics. A 3 Sisters collection, the name of which I have forgotten Peace On Earth. And each block in the Block of the Month Series was designed by a different (but well known) pattern designer. Now why on earth did I ever put this away? Doesn't matter, I found it again.
When I opened the box, I discovered that I had made six of the twelve blocks! Hey, I am nearly half done with this project that I had completely forgotten about.
I was so thrilled, I got straight to work and made the seventh block.
Extremely cute. Loving this.
