The calm before the storm
HA! That just means I've been sluffing before the deadlines hit the top of the list. The fluffy stuff is not too deep for wading easily along the path. But soon I'll need to start shoveling.
I got this Drunkard's Path project put together. I was thinking a table topper but now I'm thinking pillow. It is only 18 inches square. Amazing how these projects shrink up!
These are cut and being a bit bigger should sew up rather well. Fall is done but...
And then this plan is gonna be Fun! All the solids are in the washer as I type so I can get cutting next week. This will be a lap quilt I'm thinking and I really liked Vicki's layout using graduated fabrics. She also mentioned using five values rather than three and that makes more sense for transitioning. I have a die for the small size and will need to draft a pattern for the bigger DP blocks as this uses two sizes. I also have more Bali's to choose from in my stash. :O
I have been focusing on updating the ol' wardrobe and I have a hot tip on a jean skirt so I'm off for a visit with the grand kiddies and hopefully acquire my last wardrobe addition. Then it'll be back to dealing with the storm that has occurred in the playroom! I've certainly been mixing media!

You have lots of pretties going on here! Love your Bali's, that is going to be an awesome quilt.
You are right, these blocks do seem to shrink up! I love your pillow-to-be. Those golds are lovely.
How glorious to see you have been sewing! Love the "pillow" of Drunkerds's Path. I am smitten with your Bali fabrics and will look forward to seeing such a gradation lap quilt. Enjoy your new wardrobe acquisition and stay warm and cozy. Sharing Joy...
This is terrific. Very pretty. And I love that layout! Just lovely.
Awesome quilt! It will be an excellent piece as pillow, wall i hanging or table topper! Put a red wreath or candle or both ontop and enJoy!!! 💋💕👍
such a pretty pillow it will make. Your next fabric pull will make another beauty!
You are always SO busy when I stop by. If it isn't taking care of the week grand kids, it's journaling, cutting fabric, or making lovely quilts (and possibly pillows).
This Drunkard's Path is beautiful. Never heard of it before, but I'm not really a seamstress. I hope the path stays clear and you don't have to shovel for awhile. We've already had our fair share of snow already. Not Buffalo sized snow, but still significant.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
