WIP Wednesday

I have managed to do quite a bit this week unfortunately some of it I can't share as its for Secret Santa gifts. But what I can share is since finishing the spooky quilt I have been madly cutting out fabric to finish off the kaleidoscope quilt and summer sampler quilt I started earlier this year as part of QAL's but never actually finished. 

The summer sampler one I want to get finished fairly quickly as I'm planning on giving it as a gift to my Gran for Christmas along with a shawl I'm also trying to finish in time for her.

I've also found out some fabric I bought last year for making a christmas table cloth (then we didn't actually have a table at the time) so I need to get that made this week really.

And finally I've also been spinning up some lovely dyed BFL I received this week from Storied Yarns. It came for the personalised fibre club roving I ordered last month (am going to post more about this later when I get the chance to write it out) and as the kids settled earlyish last night I thought I'd sit and do a bit of spinning while I caught up a bit with all the tele I've been recording (my sky planner was nearly full and I've managed to catch up on a massive amount of Castle, Vampire Diaries, Ringer, Alphas and Criminal Minds in the last couple of weeks to try and clear it down a bit). I record alot but don't actually sit down to watch it all that often then find I've got hours worth of tv series to get through as I'm about 8 weeks behind on everything LOL.

Now I just need to decide what I want to ply it with.

Quilt Along Update

Well I'm getting a little behind so am going to have to do alot of sewing this week to try and catch up but I have been playing with my layout this week and am finally happy with how its going to look.

I've used Didymos wrap scraps to cut the patterned pieces from so from a distance the quilt seems to be made from solid colours but when you look closely you can see the lovely pattern in the fabric.

If I've identified them correctly it will be made up from the following indios

Indio Purpur-Elfenbein(40% linen, 60% cotton) i think

Indio kobald rouge mit Leinen/Indio Cobalt Rouge (40% linen, 60% cotton)
