One Week, One Thing - June 11

It's a brand new week, but the Market Review sewing continues! 

This week, I finished this cute Bundle Bed using pillows.  Great for the little ones to lounge on at home, or to take to a sleepover.

I started on this quilt using a Summerville layer cake.

On top of Market Review things, I'm now in charge of the Marti Michell club.  My sample and step-outs for the June club is all done, too.

This coming week will continue the MR sewing - including finishing the layer cake quilt and quilting a couple of other sample tops.  There's not enough daylight!!!!  I just need to take a deep breath and know that it's gonna be alright...

Thursday Tidbit - Fusible Interfacings

We make and have lots of patterns for bags here in TQAville.  There are many companies making all kinds of interfacings, and sometimes it's hard to figure out what type of interfacing is being called for in the pattern requirements.

Sara over at Sew Sweetness just did a fabulous blog post with everything you'd ever want to know about Pellon interfaces for bags.  We carry most of them here in the shop.

Check it out!  You might learn something new!  I know I did.....

One Week, One Thing - June 4

It's June already!  How did that happen?  Is anybody still working with me on this project?  Remember, the goal is not to finish something each week; it's to become DELIBERATE about how we spend our time and to FOCUS on accomplishing ONE thing during the week.

I did manage to finish the batik sample I was working on.  The pattern and the whole quilt will be revealed on July 1 at our Quilt Market Review Party.  I think this was one of the FASTEST quilts I've ever made!  The pattern was so fun that I would definitely make another one.
This weekend I sampled another pattern we got at Quilt Market.  It's a little time-consuming, but sort of addicting in a weird way.  Oh, another big bonus - Stash Buster!
This week I'll continue to work on samples for Market Review.  I wonder what I'll get into next?
