The week before finals has been a busy one, full of papers and projects and physical chemistry tests. However, with the excitement of my own quilt show on the brain, I have not been able to set my sewing aside. In all of my spare moments (and some that aren't spare), I've been researching quilting history and natural dyes. I even have a list of the books that I will pick up from my home library when I return in a week. More than just research, I actually brought my Farmer's Wife Quilt book to class with me on Tuesday after cutting neat 2x2" squares of each of my fabrics and picked out fabrics for two more blocks. I've also been choosing some of my favorite Farmer's Wife blocks and sketching them as inspiration for larger quilts. I cannot wait for Christmas Break when the fabric dyeing and all-day quilting can begin! What are you looking forward to most over Christmas Break?
