I loved seeing your finished projects from last week. It was fun checking out your blogs, shops, and flickr accounts. Part of the fun is to encourage each other in the challenge, so please click on each others links and leave a comment.
This week I learned that self-imposed deadlines are a better motivator than deadlines set by others. I found myself working late, getting up early, and just generally focusing more completely on this week's project once I determined to get it done. And it was fun!

I made these quilted curtain panels for my sewing room. The pattern is called Winding Ways, or Wheel of Mystery. I love the interlocking circles it creates. An unexpected surprise of the design was the way the light shines through it in the morning like stained glass.

ooh - love these! Love the piece a week project idea too. Need to see if I can unclutter the caldendar enough to play along
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting all week to post this. :-) I didn't think I'd be able to do something every week, but this is week 2 - 50 to go.
ReplyDeleteOh so very pretty. I love to quilt and did many before I took up doll making full time. Seeing your beauties has inspired me to a least think about dolly quilts since I have lots of beautiful bits and pieces wanting to be put in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis challenge has both motivated me and given me boundaries...thanks.
WOW! That is Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour "stained glass" quilt is lovely. Thanks for sharing the photo.
ReplyDeleteYour stained glass piece is a work of art, Kym! Absolutely love it. This is my first week of participation.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to have made it through 2 weeks as well! :-) Lovely items all around!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quilt design!!!! I can't wait to see more of it as it comes along.

A cool curtain panel :)
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to quilt CURTAINS. Love it! The stained glass effect is so neat.
ReplyDeleteLove the curtains! Did the stained glass effect remain after backing it? My former SIL received an unfinished cathedral glass quilt and when my daughter used it as a backdrop to some photos she was doing for a class project it looked wonderful with the light coming in.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I'm participating in this challenge just have been challenged to get something posted!
