While at QuiltCon, I succumbed to temptation, and purchased a set of Curvelet templates from Jen Carlton Bailey @bettycrockerass. Not 100% sure why, as tiny and fiddly aren't really my jam, but I've been infatuated with various projects made with them, and I just figured I'd try them out.
Each step of making tiny curvelet blocks, 1.5" unfinished, will take time. But I've made ONE, so know the process now. Just need to keep at it. I purchased three Ruby Star Society mini charm packs, which I hope to mix and match. So stay tuned! I'll (hopefully) eventually be back with a status report.
A new challenge is always fun and I like your Omnigrid round cutting mat, that could be useful! I'll keep watching for interesting results.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed seeing others work with them and purchased them a while ago but have yet to try my hand at them yet. Looking forward to seeing where this goes for you!
ReplyDeletehave fun! so many people are loving making these. I decided they are not my jam but I gave it a go!
ReplyDeleteThey may not be mine either but I at least wanted to try. ;-)
DeleteThey are great for something to do while watching a show. Will be fun to see what you create!
ReplyDeletethey are so fun! I also have the ovalets
ReplyDeleteoooh. Are they much harder to do? I was curious about that.
DeleteI love making these, they are in my to-go sewing bag. I chain stitch them, so I typically do 5-7 at a time.
ReplyDeleteoh? Like you know one off, leave a length of thread (a couple inches?) and then start the next??
DeleteYay you! So glad you succumbed! As for chain piecing these... I recommend watching Jen's video about sewing Curvelets. It's a freebie on the MQG website, under "resources." Good info there as Jen goes through, step by step, how she makes them, including how to chain piece. I'm looking forward to seeing how you go... and what you do with them! I have more than 100 made and am clueless about how to put them together. Into what?
