Home at Last is Done at Last

While watching the game tonight with one of my friends from work, I ran off the last little bit of the binding on "Home at Last". I had done most of the work the other day and have been itching to get it done. After that, I cozied up under it while her and I watched the amazing ass whooping shut out the Jets played against the Florida Panthers. While we were watching the game, which Big D got to go to, I finished block 3 of the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt.

I did a shout out to the members of my historical society for scrap material from the costumes everyone has made. The response was amazing and some people even gave large pieces of fabric. Eventhough I'm going for a scrap look, there should be a lot of colours matching through it which will be nice as well. I cant wait to see how all of the blocks turn out and how I'm going to lay them out. I am also very excited to do hand quilting!!

Blocks 1 and 2 on top, 3 and 4 on the bottom.  

They haven't been pressed yet so they don't look their best.

Well, its off to bed for some sleep before a long and stressful day of work. At least we are close to the weekend and it will be ALLLLLLL to myself to spend it quilting and being with Big D.

Experimenting

I've been up to no good!  I've been left unattended with my material, cutter and imagination!! I own at least 15 different things in this tiny studio apartment that have something to do with France.  Wall stickers, an Eiffel Tower clock, French impressionist paintings and the list goes on and on.  I want to travel the world, but work and real life tend to get in the way.  So, of course, I decided to start travelling the world with quilt blocks!

I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.  I'm almost done the binding and then it will be added to the "ready for sale" pile.  The pattern will also be available for sale on my website that is under construction.

I am taking the night off from sewing tomorrow night to attend my first ever NHL game!!  Because I've been trying all kinds of neat nail art designs lately, I decided to try and replicate the Winnipeg Jets logo with nail polish.  I think i managed to pull it off quite well.

Another little bit of experimenting!

I'm excited for the game tomorrow, it should be a super fun time!
