I'm IN!!!!


Yes, I'm going, and YES(!!!!!!!) I was one of the first 50!!!!

In other news, I tried some improvisational piecing last night. I really had fun, I don't know why I haven't tried it before. My only worry was if the piece was going to turn out large enough for what I had in mind.

Improv Piecing

It's meant to be a clutch, but I'm not sure about the map fabric as the flap. I might just use the map as the lining and figure out a different flap. Suggestions?

    How great Katie. It could go with the lovely improvisational piecing but my preference would be as a lining.

    oh the improv piecing is awesome! congrats on getting to go to sewing summit, rock on! i love the map fabric, but the improv piecing is so cool. i suppose if it were me, i'd use the map as lining. but it would look killer cool either way, for sure.

    Yay! I was thinking of you when I saw that registration for Sewing Summit was opening up. Congrats on being one of the first fifty!

    Great job on the improv quilting. I'd be inclined to show it off and keep the cool map fabric as a special surprise in the lining. For a flap option, what about a solid fabric with an inset improv patchwork strip?

    I LOVE the map fabric and your improv piecing, but I think the map fabric is competing for attention with the improv piecing. I would just let your improv piecing shine. So exciting about Sewing Summit :-) I'm glad you're going, too!
