Cutting Crazy!

I don't seem to be able to stop myself from cutting into fabric at the moment. I've barely finished cutting up one layer cake, and I've hacked into another, or a fat quarter bundle (or 2!). 

I'm clearly needing to indulge the flow of ideas and creativity that are buzzing about in my head like some kind of deranged bumble bee!!

Problem is, I'm not getting much sewing done, just creating more and more piles of WIPs!! Oh dear!

And the only sewing done today, was half an hour of EPP in the Hospital coffee shop!


My daughter was having her legs scanned at half hour, and hourly intervals all morning!  Fun (not!!).

Lying perfectly still for 30 minutes at a time for my 'active' one was her biggest challenge. At least she got a day off school!

But I can show you something I made last week.

 Last night started my 2 week mugrug class, and this is one of the examples!


Can't wait to show you the brilliant mugrugs that are being made!

Happy Tuesday!

    Oh, adorable! I know how you feel with the creativity buzzing - but I typically cut then start right onto piecing, then right onto quilting. If I can't finish a project asap I get wonky!! I have my bee blocks from the last two years just sitting in boxes...if I didn't start them, I can't finish them!!

    Such a great project - folks can let their personalities shine AND learn all of the skills you need to quilt. You're such a smart teacher. xx

    Hope daughter is ok. Dont think of it as WIPS, think of it as having the donkeywork done and a stack of projects all ready for the fun bit!

    Very pretty mug rug and hexies. Hope all the scanning will help to reveal and source treatment for L.

    I have spots of cutting madness as well, it's my favourite bit so I think that's why!

    EPP has to be the best type of portable stitching. Hope your duaghter is fine. x

    I trust those legs will be fine, and at least it was an excuse to do some EPP.
