WIP Wednesday


I didn't actually register that it was Wednesday today until I saw the WIP Wednesday posts popping up on my Bloglovin' feed. Another super busy week with only minimal sewing time, sadly.

I got a bit of breathing space at the start of the week though and managed to achieve this:




And then, the next evening, this:





I am really enjoying this Aviatrix Medallion. I had forgotten how much I love making a medallion quilt. The way it builds up is so satisfying.

Progress has slowed now, sadly, and not just because the next border is made up of 8" blocks!

More because I have a maternal obligation to turn this:


Into this:




Or something vaguely resembling it, at least.

So far I have cut some very wonky bits of organza and satin and generally felt very grumpy with the whole affair. What a lovely mummy I am. Wish me luck!! Costume making is really not my greatest strength. And I miss my medallion ...

    You are a good mum! I used to do garment sewing, but costumes that interfere w quilting are a real pain. Great fabrics for it, though.

    You make me laugh. Good luck with the costume. I'm relieved that my daughter is one and too young to care.

    I remember one Halloween a long time ago when I made three Tinker Bells and one Captain Hook costumes for 2-3-4 year olds. I got very very tired of sparkly net leaving shiny glitter all over me. But the kids absolutely loved them, and Captain Hook was handed down for several years.

    You are a good mummy! I'm hoping Dan doesn't ask me for one of these. He is rather taken with Sophia….much to the husband's disgust! The medallion looks gorgeous so far :)

    Your medallion is awesome! Do you have a pattern for the costume? My sister just made one for her granddaughter.

    medallion looks good, quite a challenge you have here, did look at the aviatrix on another blog but quickly looked away. Found your blog through LeedsMQG
