WIP-TAST-ic Wednesday 39

Wednesday, September 26, 2018

Speaking of the beginner’s crazy quilt course, I sewed together my first block. While I enjoy the colors together and do plan to use this in a different project, I’ve decided to sew a different color combination for the purposes of the class. You’ll see that maybe by next week! It’s basically paper piecing, but on the muslin foundation. That made it a wee bit extra annoying (shove all that back under the needle, smooth it out, stitch a few inches, pull it all back out, clips the threads, iron it, shove all that back under the needle, and repeat, repeat, repeat), but I think that once I complete one, I would enjoy it so much more. You know, because I can think about the awesome end result!

As far as the TAST portion of today’s post… Well, I’m still not there yet. I sent off my book chapter edits but I recently got my tourguide comments back so now I need to work on that. And I enrolled in some online classes at StackSkills to amp up some of my skillz (it’s like Craftsy but for tech stuff; PopSci runs some awesome discount deals). I don’t like having too many pots on the fire so TAST is taking a step back since it’s already on that back burner in a house in a few villages over…Have no fear – I will return to it!

PS I updated the gallery over in the Library.

My Hexie Dreams quilt, which was carefully fussy cut and hand pieced by me, then hand quilted by my gramma, is finally finished after three+ years of work (and avoidance). The proof is in the stitching – persistence pays off!
