It feels like I haven't gotten all that much done over the past couple of weeks, probably because I am watching the Primitive Gatherings BOW bags pile up in the sewing room as I quickly fall behind! The weekend before last I worked on week #4 of the pieced and pieced/wool versions. Week #8 should be here on Thursday, so I am quickly losing ground! And I am even farther behind on the EPP version....I'm barely started on that one!
I also spent some time prepping more HSTs for Triangle Gatherings.
I also spent some time prepping more HSTs for Triangle Gatherings.
And then was able to catch up on the latest Triangle Gatherings blocks.
Almost immediately after I posted in the Facebook group that I was all caught up Lisa posted a couple more blocks. And then a couple more. I am at least four behind now. I may have to prep more HSTs once I catch up on those! My sense of satisfaction was definitely short-lived!
I am obsessed with quilts with lots of pieces. We had a very entertaining speaker (Gyleen Fitzgerald) at our quilt guild this month who began her trunk show with this beautiful antique quilt top:
And then this one showed up on Instagram last night:
I spent last weekend in "Hooker's Heaven" - Janice's studio. This was my third workshop with Jayne Hester. I decided to really take advantage of her expertise in planning low contrast, very muted rugs this year. I usually push her out of her box doing things wth far more color and contrast. This is the fourth very large rug I have started in a little over a year - insane, I know - but I saw this pattern at Janice's and couldn't resist.
After this picture was taken we decided the green stem was too strong - which is hard to believe if you see the color in person - and replaced it with a gray. I am in love with the colors in this rug!
I decided that I can't start any new rugs until at least next June when I am back at Janice's. I am setting a goal to finish at least two of these big ones before then. I am hoping to get back to hooking this evening if the thumb that I closed in the car door on Sunday cooperates. Yep, not the best ending to an otherwise fantastic weekend!

OMG! I feel your pain ... and I don't mean in your thumb! Every time I feel like I'm making great progress with knitting and/or quilting, a new "rabbit hole" appears and I end up getting sucked down & further behind! We should have our own little tea party down there one day! ;)
Hope your thumb improves quickly. You've got a lot going on and more to go!
Have a great day!
Yikes! A swollen thumb is NOT gonna help!
