I haven't posted in two and a half weeks...gosh, I wonder where I might have been! ;)
If you need a hint, "Eolmana ma?" is how you say "how much for a yard?" at a Korean fabric market. Sort of.
And that other thing we went to Korea for...I think that went well. Honestly, I'm not going to breathe again until we get initial approval. But, we met the Little Man and he flopped right down on the quilt I made for his foster mother and hugged it, so I like him already.
Sewing
Both long-time UFOs, so good to knock those off the list.
Some smaller projects...

Quilted
Central Park Sudoku / Reverse Hearts - Hearts is now bound but not all the threads are buried. CPS is waiting for binding.
Piecing
Spin Cycle - adding a few blocks every week. By the way, who bet on 2.5 months before Little Miss Fluffy Tail ripped the design wall down?
Bedtime Monkey {my NewFO} - done to the applique. I can't decide if the monkey ought to have shoulders. He looks a bit weird without them.
Striped Tablerunners - I took a class on these at the beginning of the month and whipped together a few more. Only the birthday ones have been quilted so far.
Weekly Churn Dash - quickly polished off the last two {bottom row} this weekend. The darker teal is from Boardwalk, and the other is, of course, my most favorite fabric ever, the Lovely from my Celtic Solstice. {Does it count as a scrap if you're not done with the quilt yet?}
And speaking of Solstice, I didn't do any sewing on it this month. In fact, I unsewed. I decided the pinwheel centers in Block B were too distracting, so I used the 12+ hour plane rides to rip some seams, and the down time in Seoul to sketch out a plan.
And I dug out Toy Story 1 and discovered it was a whole six seams from finished. So now it's a top.

Hi!!! Wow!!!! You have been very busy!!!!! They are all wonderful and I love your churndash blocks!!!! I think your little monkey looks like he is doing a pull up from behind the quilt...so unless your really strong your shoulders wouldn't show!!!!!! I can tell you like to have fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the owls in your Korean fabric purchases! I agree that the monkey needs shoulders.
ReplyDeleteYour Churn-Dash blocks are so pretty. I love the color selection.And, I am positive Fluffy Tail had a good reason for the design wall mishap! lol
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice pile of fabric for 45! It's so awful that they're dragging the adoption out and out and out like this. It's all political, isn't it? I'm glad you have your other son to love on and do things with while you wait - it must be like magnifying the military-living mindset of not knowing what will happen times a hundredfold. Hang in there!!! Shoulders on the monkey would be really cute if you want them, but I don't think he looks weird at all as he is.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovelies in there! Well done for a very productive month. Visiting from Fresh Sewing Day
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy! Visiting from BoM's away. I've always wanted the Korea fabric buying experience, but not quite enough to be stationed there :) Good luck with the adoption!
ReplyDeleteThose all look great! I vote no shoulders on the monkey--it's so cute!! And I'm loving those spin cycle blocks, they look awesome!!
