Getting Ready for Open Studio - Off the Wall Friday

Well the last few days have been a world wind.  I still haven't gotten the hang of working full time and keeping the house going and getting time to sew ---- ohh and read my favorite blogs.  sighhhh - I really do need a wife.

Also it doesn't help matters much that I spent a whole evening trying to track down my journal quilts that I  had done years ago.  I wanted to re-purpose them into book markers or whatever to sell at the Open Studio event this week.  What???  I didn't tell you there was an Open Studio event this weekend??  Well you're just gonna have to wait to hear about that in the next post!

Anyways. . . . I never did find the journal quilties - even though I swear they were in the cedar chest!!  But I DID find my bag of dupioni silk pieces.  I love dupioni silk - I mean all that texture and saturated color - what's there not to love??  That bag has been lost 2 years so it was a good time to find it.  All day at work today I thought of uses for them and settled on mini book marker quilts.  I just started them tonight but hope to get a good series done in time for Saturday.  Here is 1 and a half of them - I might double the batting in the next - hmmm I'm not sure!   I love how they are quick and pretty and full of texture - plus you can really use them and I can sell them cheapie.

But more on that next time!


So what have you 've been up to creatively???
