On Saturday, I spent the day sewing with a good friend. Instead of bringing a whole bag with lots of sewing options, I brought ONE project.
The project I took were my scrappy paper-pieced letters.
I stayed focused and finished my way through the blue letters.
The color orange was next and I completed the letter D and T. Even though we gabbed a ton, I am so pleased I finished 5 of these letters.
I still have the color purple to do. For that color, I have the letters E and N to do. But I am motivated now so maybe I will finish those up this week.
I put all the letters completed to date up on the wall. The next step will be to start deciding on spacing, trimming the letters and piecing all the background fabrics.
(The pattern I used for these paper-pieced letters are designed by Quiet Play.)
I have about a month to get this all finished as I hope to put it up in my booth at the Westside Quilters Guild Quilt Show in early October. I will be the featured quilter there.
Did you have a productive week?

Fun letters perfect for a featured quilter's booth! And congrats on being chosen as the featured quilter.
Great progress on your banner. The letters look great together. It's the perfect banner to represent the scrappy quilter that you are. Well done! ;^)
Your pieced sign is such a fun idea! I'll look forward to seeing how you put it together with a background. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Love the letters! I was wondering what they would finally spell out. Purple will be a great addition.
Your sign panel wil be cool.

Hi,
Your letters are looking good. Love all the
pretty colors you used. Have a great day!
Shoot - I wish I lived a tiny bit closer so I could come to the show - congrats on being this year's featured quilter! It is so nice to have in-person quilt shows starting back up. I went to a tiny one this weekend and a nice one in August. Such a treat! Be sure to take pictures of your quilts on display so we can see them grouped up.
Those letter blocks are so cool, Cynthia!
