Making progress


Are you taking part in Orange Peel QAL? If yes, it is time to link up your progress at midway linky party.
I settled on peels placement and picked my pearl cotton for hand quilting. I'm not making a quilt. This is cushion to become.


While waiting in line for my ID renew I made great progress on crochet project you all probably forgot I'm making. I have a thing or two for house theme. This one is from local crafty magazine.


What I really needed to work on was my July's goal. I felt like I'm running out of time and I was also running out of thread. I got new one and I actually finished the whole thing. Yay! Well I tell you all about it once I take some pictures during daylight.


While sewing with polar fleece I recommend sewing the binding on and trim afterwards. It doesn't stretch and does not create any puckers or messy corners.
