OK.. call me crazy...
It is Heart and Hands Retreat this weekend in Kenosee Lake, Sk
Ordinarily......
I try to pick a mindless project so I can concentrate on visiting.
Not this year....
This Butterfly has been in the cocoon stage for awhile...
With it's many blocks to contemplate,
it has taken alot of thinking!!
I gathered a few interesting stripes, batiks and prints
Started cutting out the blocks and bagging them for retreat
But as they got more complicated.
I remembered how I was able to keep the last project all together for guild
As I cut each set of blocks,
I layered them on my design board and Press and Sealed each layer
This way.... it's all laid out and ready to sew when I get there!!
Genius!!!
What may not be so GENIUS is what the end result will be!!
Might be more 'Mad Scientist' or 'complete do-over'...
Stayed tuned...
Christa
