WIP Wednesday

I'm linking up with W.i.P Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced this week, no it is nothing new if you a regular reader, but if you are visiting it is a great place to get inspiration or learn tips and tricks from other bloggers.  There is also some beautiful work to be found as well.

Last October, when my husband and I were on vacation I came across a quilt at a shop in Las Vegas called 'Frosted Stars'  I immediately fell in love with the design and the fabric used. Seriously who doesn't fall in love with cute little snowmen?

Well when I ordered fabric 10 months ago to make this quilt I thought to myself that I didn't have enough of the 'scrap yardage' to make it, so it has sat in the closet with the pattern for all this time.  I decided on Monday that I was going to face the 'demon' and if nothing else make the pattern smaller so I could complete the quilt top.   I really want to get this finished for the holiday season.  As I was cutting my strips yesterday, I came to realize that I am short just a very small amount!  I was really excited and pressed all the creases out of the fabric so I could see just what I was missing.  I'm short some sashing and back ground fabric.  I'm sure I can find something at the local quilt shop to fill my void or even order something from the Fat Quarter Shop and still get this finished for the holidays.

I can't wait to get this project done

I also have a few other 'sewing' projects on the list that are going to slow this quilt top down, but I know I can do it.

My daughter who is 4 picked up a roll of purple organza at the fabric store the other day I and instead of telling her no, I said 'mommy can make you a skirt'.  What the heck was I thinking?  I have never sewn organza before...so if you have any tips I would love to hear them.  Since it is only 6" wide and 15 yards long, I am thinking a little tiered, ruffled, skirt for dress up/Halloween.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.
