On my desk

Sometime back I moved my cutting mat off the floor and onto my sewing desk. I was starting to feel my age everytime I was getting down to trim things etc. It's working much better this way although I do wish my desk was somewhat longer.



Which turned into this:



This is for Upstatelisa's April Row 10 Flickr Quilting bee. She asked for a Gee's Bend inspired piece using solids. I gathered up what solids I had around the sewing room. Watched a couple video tutorials, spoke to a sewing friend and went to work today. I was surprised at how fun it was to actually sew curves!

I'm among a talented bunch of women in this Row 10 group at flickr. Each month when the specifics come out of the Queen Bee's preferences for her quilt rows I get very nervous that they'll even like what I make! After 3 months I haven't had a complaint yet. So I guess I must be somewhat good and they like what I've been making so far. I'm a very happy sewist.
