right now

After a post-free 4 weeks, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all of the things I could tell you about: the many, many projects I've started, my trip to London (eee!). Instead, I think my first post back after an unintended break should be a list of what I'm working on right now. Maybe this post will also help me finish them soon-ish? I promise I'll write more on each of these soon (and my trip to London).

• Building an embroidery growth chart from this tutorial for Isabella (and maybe a second for another adorable baby I know!)
• Hand stitching the binding the scrappy string quilt I made in December (it's coming, mom!)
• Finishing up the button calender from Rashida Coleman-Hale's super amazing book, I Heart Patchwork. By the way, if you don't own it yet, go get it! It's filled with beautiful, original (and truly useful!) projects.
• Houses! I've been working away on finishing up my paper-pieced houses from this incredible class at the workroom. Once again, the amazing Johanna has outdone herself with this adorable design.
• My new spring dress, made from Heather Moore's organic fabric line with Cloud 9 fabrics. My invisible zipper foot just came in, and I'm soclose to finishing it! (I'm deeply suspicious, though, that I made it three sizes too big. Details, details.)
• Slowly piecing my Flock of Triangles quilt. I'm making it with lots of solid fabrics, something totally outside of my comfort zone.

There are, of course, a million other things on the go, but I'm not quite ready to admit just how many projects I have on the go publicly.  And I have some Liberty fabric that I'm eager to turn into dresses and tops from my trip to London, so I want to scratch some of this on my to-do list. With the summer weather on its way, I better get sewing!
