Sewing machine

It was a fairly light work at week this week so I was able to sneak in some more time to play with my new machine. The pinwheels are all done - I need a coordinating fabric to do the next step. Same with the bear paws. So I decided to get a move on a project that has a due date of November.

I've had these fabrics for a while... bought for a welcome quilt for little Corvin. Well Corvin is set to turn one in November, so it's changing from a welcome quilt to a birthday quilt - and I need to get a move on.

Under the watchful eye of my snoopervisor, I got them all cut into 5" squares so I could test out a new HST technique.

With that techique, I was able to churn out some hourglass blocks pretty quick.

I got six done before I decided to take a break. I still have nine more to go which ideally, I'd like to finish up this weekend... but we'll see how it goes. I feel like I've been VERY productive lately, so I'm bound to hit a slump soon! Of course, I'm on vacation this week, so maybe I can sneak them all in before that slump hits...
