It's been a couple of weeks of very slim sewing here, between a nasty cold, travel, holidays and all, I've sewn and blogged less in November than all year. I'm hoping that's about to change. On Saturday, I had the time and finally, the energy, to refocus, evaluate the projects in the works, and make at least a little progress on several. Some of that was gathering supplies or printing a pattern, but it was also getting started on quilting, which I'll share later this week, and most surprising of all, make a backing and pin-basting my Teeny Tiny Trip Around the World. Do you even remember it?
Below is a view of the finished top, hand-pieced 1" finished squares, measuring 38" square overall. I was able to press out those ripples, and I think I now have a relatively flat quilt sandwich all ready for hand-quilting. It's been a while, so I hope I get into it as much as I currently want to. Time will tell, but for now, it's at least one big step in the right direction.
