WIPs Wednesday, May (nearly June!) edition...

Must be time to take stock again....

Museum Medallion is slowly progressing...

I am nearly halfway around the last round

 of drunkard paths blocks....


I would like to think I can have this finished 

by the end of September, 

one year after I started it!

Remember, I'm hand piecing this beast!

My Feathers are arriving, almost daily....


Here's the latest one from Mary on Lake Pulaski.

And I had some time to play around

with some paper piecing... 


This is called "Boston Pavement" by Sarah


She describes it as "Steampunk" without the curves!

It is a fun block to make...

just not sure whether I'll make any more?

No progress-
knitting or Christmas embroidery...

but there is plenty of winter time left to get to these!

That's my story and I'm keeping to it!



Happy sewing!

Lots of gorgeousness! The feathers are stunning!

I'm desperate to see all your feathers together! And I do applaud your commitment to hand piecing - that's a lot of little stitches!

I was just talking about doing a drunkards path myself, but hand piecing...yikes. Keep up the good work:) And by the way those feathers are to die for. Can't wait to see those finished.

I always love your fabric choices.

Love the glimpses of progress on the "beast". Slow is often just the kind of sewing we need. It's good for remembering all the things we enjoy about the process of making things. I'm crossing my fingers for you on the September deadline.

Heather D. said...

i like all the projects you are working on and especially that Boston Pavement block.

Rachaeldaisy said...

I think you're doing really well with your medallion, remember you've been making lots of other things as well, but it wouldn't surprise me if you finish it by September I've noticed you're good at sticking to deadlines. The Boston Pavement block is great, a whole quilt would look really fab!

Lovely blocks - the orange and aqua feathers are going to be so beautiful!

Love your Boston Pavement block and especially like that they can be paperpieced. So nice that you don't rush your projects which always turn out beautifully.

Mary said...

Wow! That medallion quilt is going to be awesome. And I love that new block...very nice. Good fabric choices...as usual. My feather will be in the mail shortly. I had a bit of a problem at the post office....geesh. Soon, though!

I can't wait to see your Museum Medallion - well done at sticking with the hand piecing :-)

I always admire your fabric choices, Susan. The Drunkard Path blocks are no exception!

You're getting plenty done! Pretty feather.

Those DP blocks look good! How many to go?
Good to see the feather collection growing, too.
You are very patient to play with paper piecing!
