Saturday Sewing

 

Saturday morning Julie and I spent some serious time in the studio. Julie continued to sort through the boxes of scraps I had set out. "I'm making a huge mess in your studio!" I just laughed. I hardly thought of it as a mess.

I continued to cut triangles out of the black slabs I had cut. Each stack above has ten triangles in it. For a quilt 60" x 72" I'll need 120 triangles, so I have to keep going.

We visited Quilted Threads, the best quilt shop ever. This fellow is Philip, my new QA tester. He had to come along to get the lay of the land.

I bought some pretty fabrics and then we went to Daniel's to have lunch.

Philip and The Selvage Fairy got along right away.

He liked Julie too. We ate on the balcony overlooking the river. It was a lovely day, sunny and dry.

We came home, and Julie went into the studio and got a lot of work done. I sacked out on the couch and took a nap. The photo above was taken at the end of the day. You can see Philip at his perch, keeping watch over the studio.



*btw, Philip is named for my favorite fabric designer, Philip Jacobs.
