That’s still the working title, not even Vintage Quilt or Vintage … anything. Just Vintage, it’s the best I could come up with.
I took it to Mill Rose Cottage last Thursday, it was nice to catch up with Sue and the regulars, though I have hardly been a regular, this was the first chance I had to get there since April.
A bit of Sewing and a bit of Shopping, happy days.
I grabbed a copy of the book History Repeated by Betsy Chutchian and Carol Staehle.
I love to read about a group of women getting together through a mutual love of quilts and it leading to such a wonderful project. And of course, amongst the Divas there are a couple of names I recognise 
I have been over in the studio today as I really needed to have a tidy up. I confess that I do work in a bit of a mess, functioning quite well until I get fed up with myself and get more orderly.
I get sick of rifling through stuff
The templates were piling up so they needed to be put away once finished with.
Templates so far
And my working book was looking quite empty despite the centre being nearly complete.
That’s bad, I use this as the basis of my pattern writing so it’s important that I keep it up to date while it’s all fresh in my mind.
So I updated that with instructions and fabric samples.
Quilt Workbook, plus a pile of circles
I’ve sewn on the last of the leaves and then needed to make some more circles. I have a nice little pile there but I still need about 20 more.
But I got a bit bored and decided to come show you how it’s looking so far.
I haven’t got a design wall up in the studio yet, I kept rearranging the furniture so wasn’t sure where I wanted it for awhile. But now I have decided and yesterday went to Spotlight to get some cheap Polar Fleecy (at Jenn’s recommendation)
Design Wall Fleecy, awaiting a curtain rod and a tall man.
So for now I am making do with the back of the door
Vintage centre block in progress
You may have spotted some fabric changes from the last post.
Vintage Centre Block ~ early stages.
My quits tend to evolve. I actually don’t know how big this is going to be or anything. It’s just fun playing.
Well I better go back and make those last circles.
Happy stitching,
til soon
