bits and bobbins
a creative week
..in spite of it all. all being that everyone in our household has been at least a little sick, if not a lot sick, the past couple of weeks. i’ve had a chest cold (?) with a hacking cough so vigorous and spasmodic that it has nearly given me upper abs of steel. so un-fun.
still, I managed to drag my bones out of bed or off the couch long enough to lay out and sew a crib sized square triangle quilt i started sometime last year. i have enough to make about 3 quilts, actually. i made a quilt back for it last night and hope to baste it before the week is out if all goes well and i’m feeling up to it.
on Sunday i rallied long enough to go to this month’s meeting of the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild, where we did a mini project with zippers (see little quilted pouch, above). it’s not my best work but it was fun to make.
i also forced myself to go to my fabric silkscreening class on Monday, where I was able to pick up the fabric i printed in last week’s class, which was printed using a contact paper stencil and a little quilt inspired motif i came up with myself. i also stayed long enough to burn an image on my screen, which i will be able to print with come next week.
what did you accomplish creatively this week?

northwest is bestI’m jealous of your quilting skills as that pouch looks delightful. I’ve been knitting a Fair Isle jumper this week. Just one sleeve left to go!
