W.i.P. Wednesday . . . or Not

Well I am in a bit of a quandary . . . It's W.i.P. Wednesday, to be sure, but I have nothing in the works. I'm at the rare but hopefully brief point in time where my w.i.p.s are caught up and it's time to jump into new projects. Add to the mix a few days sorting Polaroid blocks and a little get-away with hubby, and well, there you go. So I'll share what I've completed of last week's w.i.p.s and just not link up today.

Completed projects
Zakka Style Sew-Along project #22: Pleated Coin Purse - It's crazy that with a hobby you love there are actually projects that strike fear in your heart! (funny, but serious) And this innocent-looking metal frame did in mine. But it needn't have. I chose a couple of fav fabrics, followed the instructions in the Zakka book to a T, and before long I had a darling little purse pre-frame. I did veer off then and take a try at sewing my frame on, since it had sewing holes that were calling to me. Since then, I've heard horror stories about gluing in frames, but undoubtedly, I'll need to try that one of these days too. Cuz let's just end here by saying this won't be my last frame purse. (complete post here)

Improv Log-Cabin Quilt - I feel like I've shared alot about this little quilt (approx. 30" by 36"). You can read  all about it here and here.
