WIP Wendnesday

Work In Progress for those who do not know what WIP stands for.  I have many.  But I will just give you two this week.

I finished the July block for the Raspberry Rabbits QAL.

July Block (Pink dot is my ironing board cover)

Yesterday evening I finally decided what I wanted to cut my 30's fabric up for.

I have been mulling it over in my mind for a while and decided "just start already".


I have been watching all the pretty Great Granny Squares for weeks now and I just could not resist any longer.  I really need a design wall, but since I do not have one I tacked the largest piece of flannel I had along the top of one of my cabinets in my studio and I have cut out the start of the first two blocks.

I am pretty happy with the layout. I think I need to make some of the design boards that Lori at Bee In My Bonnet has a tutorial for here.  It would be so much easier to move all these little squares from my cutting table over to the sewing machine with.   I need to finish a project that I am working on for a gift and then I plan on sitting down and sewing these first two.  I still need to cut the background strips for these blocks.

I have been enjoying my sewing time these last two weeks.  The canning has slowed down a bit until tomatoes start ripening more quickly.  Check out everyone else's WIP over at Freshly Pieced and get inspired!



Hope you are all having a great week!  Blessings from our home in the woods.
