This week I have been working on a secret sewing project for Jennifer’s (Inquiriing Quilter) upcoming fabric collection with Island Batik. No sharing yet, but I think sometime at the end of April you may start seeing sneak peeks. It is definitely one collection of fabric that online swatches do no justice.
This is 3 Ikea cubes screwed to a table top that I had. We added casters, a hook on the front and 2 on the side for hanging rulers. There is still a little organizing that needs done, I can sew now. For the top I used a piece of plywood and covered it with cotton batting and fabric.
Work continues in my sewing room. Saturday I started tearing things apart and moving everything around and had a pretty good mess. I was moving my AQ dies to their new home and bent over to pick them up and busted my head open on the corner of an Ikea cube. Sunday and Monday I pretty much did nothing but nurse a head ache. The organization should be completed for next week’s Put your foot down.
Over the weekend I finished my Island Batik March Challenge, with the help of Loki. Of course he couldn’t stay off of the quilt while I was adding the binding. It is also my finish for the Give it a Whirl blog hop hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt.
We’ve been in the new home for 6 months and I’ve just about got everything organized. The area under the open staircase had been the catch all for things needing to be placed in it’s forever home and I finally tackled it Friday.
My log cabin quilt is on the quilt frame waiting for me to climb the stairs, which I will do this evening. It’s been a while since I’ve come this close to a deadline, it must be done Feb 22nd.
This week I have been working overtime on my Island Batik log cabin quilt. My day to share is Feb 22nd and I realized I forgot to untick scaling in the printer settings. Some of my blocks are 1/2″ too small, here are just a few blocks I need to remake
Work has begun on my IBA log cabin challenge for February. For the background of my quilt I have chosen fondant and muslin fabrics, both Island Batik Foundations.

Does anyone remember Room 222?
I’m about to cut into a colorful bundle of fabric called Woodstock. The first Island Batik blog hop begins next month and the challenge is a log cabin quilt. Look at those peace signs!
