wip creative spaces

 so my creative space ...

my creative head space is brimming with ideas so much that i feel at times it is spilling over

my physical actual creative space is over taking our home

my art educator creative space has been reflective this week

my sewing & making for dollars creative space fits in whenever it can

my dreaming up 'possibilities' thinking creative head space has been working overtime lately

my dream studio creative space is constructed so far of black lines on A3 paper 

but there have been steps made ... which creative space should i refer to?

here are two works in progress

the above "rainbow i spy" which has been almost finished for a while

had its binding machine sewn on .... just need to do the hand slip stitching

have a goal to make that happen this weekend

the other is a gorgeous pink & green single bed log cabin ....ish quilt 

made by a great friend of mine .... Sam

in fact this is her first ever patchwork experience

it was pieced & sandwiched a long time ago 

... way way back one night, we had a chat .... i didn't really know her then

i told her i thought she needed to have some kind of hobby outside of what was work

think my words were more like "get a life" .... spoken with diplomacy of course!

she asked me what i did .... was when i was just getting back into sewing more often

the next week, she told me she'd bought a machine & that i had to teach her....!!

.... sounds like we were up front with each other 

but that is how we are & it works as we are great friends .... 

thank goodness she did that or we probably would have gone separate ways ... xx

& i see it as kind of my responsibility to see that this quilt is completed!

as a first effort i probably shouldn't have put Sam on such a huge unknown path

... she learned a heap but maybe i stretched her just that little too far?

she started machine quilting it but was not entirely happy with the results

then she tried perle 8 chunky stitching but it wasn't a 'happening thing' for her

so i stole it away to stitch it myself .... i've pulled it out now & then

not often enough .... but i am coming close to the finish ... yay

soon it will be done & i will wrap it with a great big bow!!!

& then she can do the binding!!!

more creative spaces going on over here today
