I've been doing a lot of prep work this week for something really fun. This weekend I am going to Atlanta for a sewing weekend with some bloggy friends! I am really excited... and a little bit nervous, but mostly just excited. I wanted to get most of the cutting done on the quilts I'm planning to work on, partly because I want to spend my time actually sewing, and also because I want to save some room in my suitcase for a little fabric shopping spree while we're there :)
I got all of the triangles cut for my triangle quilt.
The strips and scraps cut for a new baby quilt.
And I'm working on cutting more jewel shapes for my paper piecing project.
If you're in the Atlanta area and want to join us on Saturday, June 23rd, at 10am, we'll be doing some shopping at Whipstitch and then heading next door for lunch when we're finished! Everyone will be getting a 10% discount in-store at Whipstitch, so it's the perfect opportunity to stop in and pick something up! We hope to see you there!!

Welcome to Bijou Lovely. This blog is named after my great grandmother, Bijou Lillian, who encouraged me to embrace all the lovely things that the world has to offer. I hope to provide you with inspiration for sewing, quilting, photography, design, and daily life here at Bijou Lovely! It's truly lovely to have you here.
I did a little cutting prep the other night, but I really need to get my but in gear and do more! I'm thinking I'll work on my long-neglected Swoons, but I need to decide what else to work on when I need a change of pace. And I don't know about you, but after all those emails, I think I may be most excited about the food situation :)
ReplyDeleteWoot woot!! I have been cutting for the past two days during Julia's naps -- so excited! After going on several other retreats, it is so nice to have everything all cut out, you won't regret it. Sewing time is way more fun than cutting time. ;) So funny you posted this today b/c my post is scheduled for tomorrow about all the prep work for this weekend....yahooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with Jessica -- oh, lord, the food is gonna rock!
You guys are going to have the best time I can't wait to hear all about it!
