I sewed so much the first four months of this year when it was still wintry and cold. I finished several custom orders for my Etsy shop. They all seemed to come at same time and tapped deep into my creative brain. Last week, I worked an 8-5 temporary office assignment for a colleague who needed and deserved to take some vacation. I have committed to a few more of those jobs with the summer vacation season coming ahead. I got out of my sewing routine and now I am having a difficult time getting back into the sewing frame of mind.
Before this little break/slump/vacation, I started another custom order cutie pie Cat Quilt. Her aunt says she loves cats. She is a recent college graduate who has started her first major job as well as purchased her first home. She deserves a quilt for all she has accomplished, don't you think!
I pulled out my box of scraps and cleared out a bunch of leftovers. So many colors. So much texture and movement. So much fun!
The block makes up into a good size and soon it doesn't take long before you have a nice size bed quilt.
This one is not due until September. I should have my mojo back by then. Hopefully by next week.
Thanks for stopping by on WOW Day (Works in progress On Wednesday.)
I am linking up to Esther's WOW on her blog today.
Credits...This particular cat pattern, Dream Chasers, is from a book called Quilts for Kids by Carolann Palmer. The book is from the 1990's and was published by That Patchwork Place. I searched for a link online but I wasn't able to find any specific link other than a random copy of the book that was sold and other conversation.
Hope you get your mojo back soon!
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to show my daughter the cute cat quilt, but then I might end up promising to make her one! :)
