Creative madness ??? (Friday Night Sew In)

I started a new project.

I measuerd the craft table and discovered I would, once again, have to take over the dinning room as I needed a larger work area.

I cleared the table, set up another alongside and prepared my work space.

I laid out my tools and matarials, streached out my 'canvas' and admired how organised and exciting it looked.

 

 

I then took a deep breath, tried to figure out where to start, and....... sat down with a cup of tea!

That big bit of white expanse can be awfully intimidating.

 

After my tea, & another deep breath, I jumped in and filled the space with folded FQ's (fat quaters) in an attempt to work out which fabrics to use where.

1/2 hour later....

 

Now I know which fabrics.... how to proceed next????

Another cup of tea!

Back to work, but my canvas is covered! So I reorganise my fabrics to give me space to work.....

 

 

.....and start cutting fabric.

A few hours (and cups of tea) later.....

 

 

...a couple more cups of tea (and hours), & the background is all laid out.

 

It's 11pm and bed time for me.

Tomorow I just have to figure out how to sew it all down.
Then I need to create all the foreground pieces. I have one week to finish this project, in between balancing it with my studies. Madness I know!
I'll keep you updated on the progress.

 

Wish me luck!
