There’s been a little bit of sewing and quite a lot of preparation for sewing this month.
The month started with making some felt disease-causing microbes for a work public engagement event. These were to accompany commercially-available “giant microbes”, so I guess that makes them “largish microbes”.
Next was a great morning at Waterloo Quilters listening to Maureen Crawford talk about 50(ish) of her quilts in 50 (ish) minutes. There was lots of inspiration for quilt patterns and quilting designs and it was interesting to see examples of quilts made with fabrics other than quilting cottons.
There has also been lots of preparation for my Wonderland Sampler quilt. I’ve gone through my Liberty stash and picked fabrics as close as possible to those used in the book. I’ve decided to set the blocks on point and so I won’t need to make 100 blocks as in the book and I think I have prepared kits for each of the blocks I am planning on making.
There are a few fabrics where I didn’t have a close substitute, but Alice Caroline is having a pop-up fabric shop in Port Sunlight next month which will give me chance to get a few new fabrics.
