WIP Wednesday {Oct. 3, 2012}
Been missing....
Actually it has been a LONG summer! I know - it ended in August and here it is October... The addition of a Boat to our 'family' made my summer LONG on Fun but quite short on Sewing...
I have completed a few things this summer and will do a bit of a 'show and tell' as I blog this Fall...
I have been involved with a great Fiber Art group since the beginning of 2012. We have had 6 Creative Challenge reveals. This has been great for my creativity. Each project has been a reach beyond my comfort zone and I've enjoyed every one! I am in the process of my 7th challenge so I will show you the completed ones over my next few blogs.
Reveal #1 Cobalt blue at 10 feet:
Funny - I was going through the files and realized that I had drawn this one out! Color of the lettering is off but otherwise it's pretty much how I envisioned it!
This week’s stats:
New projects – 1

To see all 7 Creative Conglomeration's Challenge 1 Quilts visit
For my Current WIP I am working on an original Tote Design.
This is the panel I have created for the front of the bag. (That's it on the design wall.)
This is made using my new block named 'Mason's Block'. I first made it for my son's graduation quilt. I seems that I came up with a new block in the process of making his quilt which I am finally done!!
I will post pictures soon of the completed quilt as the pics are in my hubby's camera.

I plan to post a tutorial on an easy way to make this scrappy block.
I am also working on a pattern for various sized quilts. :)
Narrowing down my WIP as I am working on organizing my 'universe' and in the process I have separated my WIP's from my UFO's
(Unlikely to be Finished anytime soon Objects). I'm gearing up to spend some time on the UFO project with Leah Day.
WIP = actually out and being worked on...
UFO's = Tops completed, projects in the 'pile,' etc...
WIP - October:
~Tote bag w/Mason's Block
~Cathedral Window Floral Quilt
~Door quilt for camp - 4 sq & 1/2 sq triangles - Brights!
~1600 Jelly Roll Race Top - revamp into something a bit more interesting!!

Magic and Imagination! When in doubt watch a child play!
The other day I went for a walk with a new friend. About a mile from our camp there is a wonderful place called The Fells. Below is a picture and link to their web site.
The grounds are beautiful and you could easily spend hours walking through them. We stumbled along a very magical place known as the Fairy Village.
In this area the Fells supplies lots of Nature for children and adults to come and build wonderful Fairy Houses! This is the gate you must pass through to enter the Fairy Village:
Looking at these creative houses I could almost imagine the fairies hiding until I went away!
This walk through the Fairy Village took me back to the days when my children were much younger and still believed in the magic of Fairies!!
Are you still a kid at heart?
I think we should all take the time to see the wonder!
Have a magical day! :)
