Fanfare for the Heroes

Since I mentioned it you can see the history of my Fanfare for the Heroes:

It started ages ago, and I was silly enough to decided to make this massive queen size quilt by hand. What silly things when we are tired.

MacMac the pattern book and the bulk of the fabric before going on his first deployment.

I got the last of the fabric for the quilt the lighter pinks and yellows. I made up a little postage stamp quilt with the scraps to let MacMac see how the colors work with each other.

21 June 2008

As you can see it gets worked in tiny bursts. I've worked on a piece here and there since 2008, but never made any full blocks and also haven't found an empty floor space to layout all I have.

Still running behind

Nothing much to report. The holidays are on there way, so we are getting nested for that.

Crafting wise I sat down and did some hand quilting on Fanfare for the heroes (an old work in progress) for perhaps 30 odd mins before SqueekMoo got to curious with my project. Other than that nothing much.

My sister is requesting another scarf, one that's longer and perhaps with fringe, if the weather is nice (as in not snowing) I'll probably go get supplies for that latter this week.

And we are back

Okay so we've been back a week or so, but it's bee very busy.

For starters, as soon as we got home we rearranged the house:
we made the smaller bedroom the main bedroom.
The Master bedroom has now become the craft nook, MacMac's office and a second play area for Squeek Moo.

We have bought new furniture from IKEA to make my nook more organized.

I've done some light sewing, getting all the my works in progress all in one spot makes me want to finish them.

Also I've started lessons planning for the new year since SqueekMoo is a sponge for learning new things.

So many fun things, I'll be posting more regularly shortly.
