I've been meaning to post some sewing work in progress after the weekend but the weather hasn't been very good for me to take any photos. Better late than never.
The week is moving right along. I mentioned the other day that i'm coming out of a long sewing slump. I wanted to give you further proof: started my quilting classes again after a little "offline" break. A few days of hunched shoulders, i finally start to see some patterns slowly emerging from these pieces of fabrics i cut out for my 12 blocks quilt... honestly, i'm really enjoying this, it feels pretty much like i'm putting together a jigsaw puzzle with thousands of puzzle cuts. I have been meaning to make this for ages and really satisfy that i finally got around to start it last weekend.
I've also been a lazy shopkeeper, but that is about to change. Speaking of the shop, i've decided to put new handmade items of this, this, and that on sale in honor of the glorious fact that i feel happy, lucky and simply wonderful. Give it a look.
Hope you're having a great week. Hard to believe it's September and i could smell fall. Take good cares and lots of love to you!
I wondered how things are going with your quilt classes. You have been very quiet about it lately. Now I see why - you have been busy! The colours are glorious and you are such a neat seamstress! Cannot wait to see the finished quilt!

I love all the fabrics you've chosen, they look great together! I'd love to learn quilting but it just seems so meticulous and time-consuming, I don't know if I'd have the patience... I'm looking forward to seeing your quilt when it's done :)
