Hey there,
Hope you all had a quilty and crafty week! I worked on a few things this week that I enjoyed so much.

The first was my Christmas jelly roll race quilt. I pieced this on the my Featherweight and will finish it some time before this Christmas! I absolutely loved the fabric. It was a Moda jell roll of some sort.

I also worked on my apple core English paper piecing. I decided to use a few of the duplicate jelly roll strips from the Christmas quilt and I will make either a small wall hanging to match that quilt or a pillow (Lindsey’s suggestion).

I worked on these at the library this week while waiting for the tutoring session to be over. I found a nice wooden table to spread everything out on and went to work quietly and peacefully. It was great! I will be honest and say that apple core shapes are harder to work with than hexagons. It’s do-able just a little more challenging.

I got the itch to dye fabrics. I wanted a bright, multicolored piece and a rich chocolate piece…

I also worked on something that can’t be shown at this moment but these are the fabrics…

My running is coming along too. I am on week 4 day 2 of the 8 week program. I was very nervous about today’s run as it involved two 5 minute runs and 2 three minute runs plus 22 minutes of walking. Yesterday I had almost talked myself out of any possibility of succeeding today. That was my fault from reading internet blurbs about people having to repeat week 4 because if you’ve never really run before, the 5 minutes are a killer. Happy to say, I did it! Take that week 4 day 2!!!

This morning I am working on that pink/gray/black & white project. What are you working on?

Don’t forget about your Project Hope Quilts which in light of Oklahoma’s tragedy, makes these quilts even more important.
