Christmas in Spring

Back before my sewing hiatus I took the curves class from Rachel over at Stitched in Color. It was fantastic -- she did an excellent job of teaching and had a variety of projects to choose from. I didn't get to finish all the projects before I took my little sewing break...but I fully intend to finish them now! So keep an eye out for some curvy posts in the future.

'Til then, here's one of the first projects I worked on - the top to a christmas wall hanging. I still need to quilt and bind it, but I'm trying to decide what  kind of thread to use...I'm thinking perhaps some silver thread with a bit of shine to it.

Curves, Curves, Curves

This year one of my sewing goals is to master the curve. I like to create my own patterns and not being able to successfully sew a curve has put a major damper on my pattern/quilt making. The ideas are in my head but are unable to be realized on fabric. Luckily for me, Rachel over at Stitched in Color is hosting a month long Curves Class.

It starts this week and I'm super excited!

Just look at a few of the projects Rachel has put together for us to try:

I can't wait to get started.

You bet I'm going to try to master those curves!

I had big plans to blog about the awesome curves class earlier, but due to Sam's demise I had to wait. I'm sure you can still check it out and register today here. It is a super great deal when you think about all the hard work she has put into it -- it's a month long and you're bound to learn a few things!

Stay tuned to see my curve sewing in action within the next few weeks! =)
