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*)
