On My Agenda

As routine kicks back in I have a list of things to accomplish, not least of which is four commissions for Love Patchwork & Quilting, so I apologise in advance for 'secret sewing'. Additionally, Emily has requested a Minecraft inspired pouch for a friend's birthday, and Helen has requested a pouch without any theme yet mentioned for one of her friend's birthdays.

The other item on a set deadline is my Schnitzel & Boo IG Swap mini. This is the only thing I worked on over the holidays. And I paper pieced. Yes, I know, me - paper piecing!


It's just an idea I drew out on freezer paper (because it is the biggest piece of paper I had available) on a whim one day. My partner seems to like rainbows, and geometric type mini quilts. Well, this ticks the rainbow theme, but is a bit random for geometry maybe.

I need to add a narrow white border and quilt it, but the hardest bit is done. Except ripping the paper out. I hate ripping out the paper. (*sigh*)

    I love it and I'm sure your partner will, too! I also hate ripping out the paper - any chance one of the girls will do it for you?!

    Getting back into a routine is trickier than expected here too. Love your rainbow mini quilt.
    Happy Sewing :)

    Och, sure, there's straight lines, that should satisfy geometry ;o)

    It's like a fractured spiral. Very cool design! Four commissions - better get your foot on that pedal.

    Magic me to be your partner and I'll be ok with you leaving the paper in - and that way you can get on with your commissions. Win win all round

    I hate ripping paper out too but I think this hits the mark by the sounds of it well done (not even halfway through mine oops)

    That is funkilicious! I love it! That pattern would make great cushions. Getting four magazine commisions is great.
