Design Wall Monday (or rather Friday evening)

While cleaning up my sewing room,

I came across a UFO from November 2013:

Wagon Wheels by American Jane,

started during a workshop with Sandy Klopp.

The idea of moving (or losing) 

the pre-cut pieces one more time,

just didn't do it for me today.

So I started sewing...

Before:

And after some major curve sewing

- with acceptable success -

Tadaa, all 4 blocks are done!

Now I have to make a decision

if I want to add a piano key border.

It will be just a wall hanging 

to remind me that I DO KNOW 

how to sew curves ;-)

So glad I tackled it

on a somewhat dreary Sunday.

Quick update on Hawk's Nest -

a few more blocks were pieced

whenever I found a few minutes to sew.

Slow going,

but every block counts!

After all there are 

41 pieces in 1 nest block:

Design Wall Monday

Guess what: 

I completed all the units for Orca Bay!

Wohoo, big accomplishment for me;

now I have to sew them into blocks 

and then add them to the partial quilt top.

It sure feels good 

to have finished this part

and be one step closer to a finished top!

Let's hope I can make it by November...

And then last week was a Sandy Klop week for me

with her lecture on Thursday and 

the Wagon Wheel workshop on Saturday

through the GLHQ guild.

I had a great time

and managed to sew 2 (and 1/2) blocks.

Not bad for somebody with a curve phobia...

As you can see the blue - green block

still needs to be completed.

And I should have pressed them again, oh well...

It will probably become

 a 4 blocks wall hanging,

but I am proud of having tried 

and succeeded

with curves!
