I've had to take a break from the commission quilt I'm working on (instructions: "To be inspired by Saucy Divo but not be the same as Saucy Divo".

I'm done everything but the outer border on the top, but need to go the Fashion District to pick up fabric for the said border and the backing - I'm thinking a lovely chocolate brown ultrasuede or perhaps a coppery coloured linen - but as the Fashion District is only open during the same hours I have to be at my day job, I won't be able to get the fabric until this weekend. I am therefore on hold until then. I'm liking what I've got so far(taken at 5:45 a.m.) and I think I've got the "inspired by not not the same as" part down.

So, yesterday afternoon I worked on my summer wardrobe - completed one dress that, it turns out, looks terrible on me - *hah!* - it's not the sewing, merely the style - so I'll have to take that apart and make something else out of it. And I got most of the way through another one. This week - I'll be working on my birthday blocks (which I'm behind on!), a round robin quilt that I'm part of, and getting my Pay it Forward prizes done.

Busy, busy!
