Just a wee change from cutting fabric for the Paintbox Quilt Along that I’ve been working on.  I love a little bit of Crochet, so I’m sketching some colours, planning the size because this maybe blanket like and checking out how much of Rowan Kidsilk Haze is in my Stash.

Colours so far – Jelly, Trance, Candy Girl, Blood, Majestic, Putty, Liqueur, Dewberry, Marmalade, Meadow, Hurricane and Mist.  Lovely colours with some brilliant names!

Yes, I’m going to admit it now – I have Wool Stash and Fabric Stash and I wondered today how many others have the same addiction :O)

My space will be a little different for a day or two as I’m likely to start cutting more fabric for the Quilt Along…  So what’s in your space today?  Now you’ve seen mine!

Paintbox Quilt Along

Oh, Fransson!

 

It all started with reading Kirsty’s Blog Kootoyou, last week and found myself on Elizabeth’s Oh, Fransson!  Oh, boy was I enthused, out came some fabric all prettied up onto the Bookshelves cleared out from last week and came across a lovely book hardly read, Color the quilter’s guide by Christine Barnes.

Three Blocks later, this started on Wednesday and I think about 80 blocks on I will have a lovely Paintbox style quilt having used up some of my own personal stash.  I did deviate from Elizabeth’s pattern slightly by keeping all the fabric cuts at 2.5″ wide each, hence bigger blocks!

So My Creative Space Today!

How it looks today! :O)

 

Not particularly tidy and busy with work in progress now.  At least I know I’m prepared for plenty of fabric cutting etc.  So what have you got planned this weekend?  Happy Easter to everyone! :O)

As part of Kirsty’s themed Thursdays, that lovely lady has given me the impetus to take some photos of the space I’m working in at the moment.  So please take a note of the New Fabric, sort of tidy bookshelves, the WIP desk come cutting area and the desk that needs just a wee clean!

This doesn’t include cut fabric already for posting or the line of fabrics awaiting their final cut :O)

Not forgetting my own personal projects and WIPS that are on the go!  Did I mention the Things To Do List, maybe not.
