I have a couple active WIPs this week and a couple of finishes.
And everything I have done this week qualifies for TNT Thursday!
Yay!
First up is my April Stash Bee block finish.
First of all, I have always wanted to make gothic windows.
So when CeLynn at The Sunflower Patch asked for these I was so excited.
The great thing about Bees, which I just learned as this is my first, is that you get to try so many different things.
And you only have to struggle through them once if its that bad.
This block was that bad.
I am so happy I tried it, but I am so happy I don't have a whole project of these.
You know what my biggest issue was?
Pressing open seams.
CeLynn requested we press our seams open.
And rightly so since there was SO MUCH BULK.
But I failed to get one seam neatly pressed open.
Anyway,
I hope CeLynn likes the finished product.
I hope she doesn't mind getting them and possible pressing the final seams a bit better.
So sorry!
(side note: I did not have any gray/yellow or black/yellow fabric.
How cute is the bumble bee fabric from that my mother-in-law had!!!!)
Next up is a secret finish I cannot reveal.
Its in the mail and will be posted once my friend receives it.
She picked out a diaper clutch pattern and emailed it to me.
I sent her a pinterest board of nine fabrics to choose from.
She picked her top three.
I picked one (She does not know which one).
So stay tuned for that.
Finally, the big WIP.
This week while I was making my bee block (see above) I took the small pieces of scrap fabric, and I cut them into 2.5" squares.
Yep, I am getting organized.
Who cares if I have about 20 squares done and baskets of fabric to do.
Its a start right?
I think it was inspired by my desk move at work.
I decided to clean house when I changed desks.
I completely re-organized... well I should just say organized.
Then I let that mentality spill over into home.
We will see how long it lasts!
Woo hoo!
Oh, and one more WIP worth mentioning.
I have not started it yet, but I am super excited about this one.
