Fabrics

A Messy Business

This neat little stack of fabric…

Has become this…

My studio is a disaster.  There are fabric scraps all over, pieces on the floor, freezer paper rolls, pins and markers everywhere.  Believe it or not this is what I call designing.  It’s a state of controlled chaos.  I do it all at once; picking fabric, drawing the designs, writing the pattern, prepping the appliqué, choosing embellishments, and on and on.  Really, sometimes I think I’m nuts.

The good news is this…

By the time this little mess gets into your hands it will look a whole lot better and I’ll have a clean studio.

Today I’m going to watch Julia and Julia on DVD and work my way through this quilt.  Block by block, piece by piece.  I’m 2/3rds done!

Have a great Sunday everyone.  Don’t tell me the ending of the movie, but have you seen it and did you like it?

Hugs,

Anne

    Oh no this is not a disaster I can still see floor! this is controlled chaos :0)…….you’ve got to make a mess to be creative.
    Love your color palate can’t wait to see what comes out of your creativity next.
    I finished my “Tisket a Tasket” top this weekend, and while I am happy to have the top done I’m sorry to leave the project. Thank you for giving us all those fantastic blocks each month, I never enjoyed a project more. Now onto Snowbound!

    Happy sewing

    I haven’t watched it yet , but when I purchased it last week at Best Buy, a clerk told me it was a Streep classic and the check out person said it was absolutely hilarious! BTW, they were both GUYS.
