Describe Happy: 2012

1.04.2012

Wednesday WIP {A Fresh Start}

It's been awhile since I organized my thoughts around sewing. Here's to a fresh start and lots of sewing success in the new year!

--IN PROGRESS--

Star Struck -- star quilt-a-long by Melissa at Happy Quilting.

I am still standing at one block, but making progress on cutting out additional stars. Still undecided about how big this one will be, but have about 2 1/2 weeks to finish it up. I am working with vintage sheets and mocha flannel for this one... so soft!!

I am still in the sketching/planning phase, but will have more shortly!

You can still join the challenge if you like... details are here at Sew La Vie.

It's a challenge to make a clutch using lots and lots of notions. Called "Naughty Notions," because they pile up and hiding in every nook and cranny of my sewing room.

--ON PAUSE--

Laughing Leaves with Frieda Anderson

More the project can be seen here.

Can't wait to roll up my sleeves and dig back in! You can also check out what I learned about using fusible in an art quilt!

{Your're My Sunshine}: Bottled Rainbows {ticker tape quilt-along}

Still no deadline for this one, but I am sure it will be an awesome winter project and just the right thing to pick up after all the crazy holiday sewing!

Last WiP Wednesday Total: 7

--SEWING FOR 2012--

For now this is just a dumping ground of all the sewing ideas I have for myself in the new year.

At some point I will need to decide what will come when, but for now I am happy with an open brainstorm of creativity! Also linking up with Creative Collections as I think about my creative resolutions for 2012.
