Last Saturday, I did a bit of garment sewing and made flannel jammie pants. My limited experience sewing clothes hasn't been enjoyable, but my friend Amy was a fantastic tutor! They turned out pretty good! One modification that I'll be making is to add a drawstring to the waistband. The elastic isn't quite snug enough.
Yesterday, I worked on a lot of things I wanted to have finished for last Thursday's Mad Mod meeting. I had grand ambitions to enter 4 blocks for the block lotto and didn't have time to get them done. Now I'm wondering if I should consider this a new project and make enough for an entire quilt? I kinda like the pattern and color scheme... So far, I have 3 blocks complete and the fourth is just waiting for 1 more half square triangle.
One of the charity blocks Mad Mod is working on is a wonky log cabin super hero block. They are about 14" blocks (huge!). Many people had theirs complete for this week's meeting. Mine will have to wait for next month.
My 2 blocks:
Here are the guild's charity blocks at last Thursday's meeting:
Exciting news--
(well, not that exciting) I have decided on a setting for the leader/ender 4 patches that I've been accumulating for ages. I've seen this pattern before, but the light bulb clicked when I saw Tanya in Colorado's version. I'm 99% certain that the backgroud is going to be a royal-ish blue. Very vibrant! I've been focusing on sewing my 4 patches into 16 patches. I can't wait to cut some of the blue and see how it will work together!
Here's a picture of my entire design wall. It's looking a little (ok, A LOT) ADD right now.
To wrap up, I'll share a little stash acquisition I did when I was at Stitcher's Crossing for the Mad Mod Meeting and link up with the Fabulous Molli Sparkles for Sunday Stash:
