Hi. I'm still here, alive and kicking (Mister Big... Anyone? Anyone?)
I've been working away in the studio, trying not to melt to death and wishing for autumn to arrive before I lose the plot because OMGwhat'stakingsobloodylongIthinkI'mgoingtocryIhatesummersomuch.
Oops. Too late.
So to stay sane, I just keep sewing. So much sewing :) Finished a quilt top but I have to set it aside to finish a couple of customs.
The custom order was from an old customer who'd bought the Wonky Zoo quilt way back in 2009 and wanted two more to gift to a relative and a friend. She wanted them exactly the same but the backing and binding fabrics were no longer available (thankfully I bought a few yards of the zoo fabric) so it took a fair while to find fabrics that she liked. The backing finally arrived today but I still have to sort out a binding. I was thinking of doing the green solid. I've done that before on this quilt and I thought it looked really nice.
I haven't made one of these quilts in ages and it took me a while to remember how to. I should write things down but I tend not to. Because I'm forgetful, a procrastinator and a lazy bum :)
Anyway, one top down, another one to go.

Yes, but at least you're a cute, witty, clever, talented procrastinator/lazy bum... :-)
Can't wait to see 'em finished!
At least it's a fun, cute quilt to duplicate!
I crack up every time you talk about hating the heat, knowing that you lived in Australia. You must have just hated it there. I picture it as hot hot hot most of the year.
I have a lovely little journal for recording names, dimensions, fabric requirements, etc for each project. It's a shame I can't find the damned thing.
