Just checking in, I have not disappeared from the blogosphere or from my sewing room lol In fact I have had a bit of fun, playing, thinking, browsing, buying :) Not long until dinner, but I quickly wanted to update the progress on my resolutions:
Finish Press Start
Finish Giant Chevron - still just over half way through background fmq; after reading a post by Karin from The Quilt Yarn I have decided I will play with tension (esp. bobbin) and with different needles again to see if I can make fmq more enjoyable.
Finish Opal Essence - 21 cubes quilted
Complete remaining Vintage Quilt Revival blocks - currently piecing block 16 of 20:

| Exploding Star |
 |
| Star and Pinwheel |
Piece Metro Rings top
 |
| Flimsy is a very suitable term, it will need a lot of starch and pressing, and then I plan to quilt it extensively :) |
New little project - steadily adding to the little pile
I enjoyed a bit of online shopping, now I'm waiting for a package from Craftsy with batting and another one from Pink Castle Fabrics with Me & You Batiks :) Thanks to Karin's blog (mentioned above), I have also ordered another ruler foot, and I'm determined to make at least one of them work:)
Work is great, I absolutely love it! Working hard, but everyone is incredibly supportive, and we are already starting to see positive results.

Happy Sewing!
