I'm still sans my sewing machine. Steve told me I should take a break from sewing every now and then.
This past week I didn't do anything, until Friday night.
When you don't have a machine, what do you do? Cut out a future project.
I washed and ironed my fabric for my Amazon Star. Then I started cutting for the quilt.
I'm not sure if you all are familiar with Judy Niemeyer patterns, but she includes instructions and templates for cutting out her quilts.
I knew by looking at the quilt that it would be very involved, but the cutting was proof. Eight pages of cutting instructions. Ten ziploc bags later, I have everything cut and sorted.
I have to admit that the instructions were well written and easy to follow. The next step is to get my machine back and start sewing.

WOW!! This woman has some amazing quilt patterns. I love her use of colors. I can't wait to see the finished product
I'm anxious for you to get started on this quilt so I can watch it come together. It's going to be so beautiful,
I can't wait until you get your machine back. I hope you'll enjoy making this when you get it back.
