Wednesday WIP

Every sewing machine should have a pretty cover and my new machine is no exception.  Inspired by the fabulous cover Diane received from Liz in a Sew Sew Modern 3 Swap, I thought I would make one for myself.  Using various low volume fabrics, linen, some Notting Hill and other co-ordinating fabrics I have started my creation.  So far I have made some paper pieced Tallahassee Blocks, some flying geese blocks and pieced various sized squares together.  I still don't really know what it will look like, but it will co-ordinate with the fabric bowls I have made for my sewing desk.

    I always like the look of linen with the bright cottons.

    Your color choice is great. The reds and blues really pop.

    I have yet to make a machine cover and really, really should. The FQ bundle of Notting Hill has collected dust for nearly a year now, shameful I know!

    I am in awe of your patchworking skills! I long to start one day and glean so much inspiration from such blogs as yours.

    I'm off to follow you if I may!
