Work in Progress

Tonight, I finally took out the fabric and started the quilt I've been talking about for months. I was pretty tired out from the weekend (of eating and playing...I know, poor me), so I only got to cut a few squares. But still, it's a start. I can't wait for the different pieces to come together, and to see how the fabrics and squares play off of each other. It'll be so fun! Of course that is still very far away...so, for now, here's to a first step in the right direction.

A Pleasant Discovery

Yesterday, I took Collin to this wonderful little shop in North Cambridge: The Cambridge Quilt Shop. I had found it on-line, and wasn't sure what it would be like. It turned out to be a really great find--the staff were friendly and helpful, they have a wide array of fabrics (some cut into 1/4 yd squares to better serve quilting needs), and there were multiple works-in-progress during my short Thursday afternoon visit. As an added bonus, there's a little knitting shop right next door!

Now, if I can only find the time to start on the quilting project I've had on hold for the last year...
