Here in NZ we are now in day 10 of Covid level 4 lockdown.
Staying home the whole time has given me more incentive to get on with making my quilt, called "These are a Few of My Favourite Things.
I have been using my Inktense pens to colour some black and white fabrics to make them more interesting for this particular project.
I have been cutting out parts of fabrics ( fussy cutting ) to sew to background squares or strips. I had been through my fabric stash 3 times and was becoming a bit desperate what to use next. I mentioned it to my sister on the phone and she went through her fabric containers and popped some bits in the post.- they got to me in less than 4 days.
I am now probably going to break some of my self imposed rules. I don't really like cup cakes but I'll put them in anyway.
I have drawn a few with my pens but they seem a bit pale. Otherwise it is coming along well. I think I may be 75 % there now. That depends on the final size I decide on.
Every night I sew more on while watching TV - cause that's not always very exciting.
I missed the company of my Quilting friends today but made sure it was a sewing day for me.
I hope you Kiwis are all well an doing as we are told.( for how much longer? )
What a lovely project to play with while you are stuck at home. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection of favourite things there. Hopefully your lockdown will ease soon and the virus not spread.

ReplyDeleteI also find I'm focusing more on finishing quilt projects these last few crazy years. Had never heard of those pens - they seem to do a lovely job if that first flower is anything to go by. Will be watching to see the finished project!
