All this, and no sewing machine...

Two quilts layered and ready for quilting, one being stitched together + the start of a new book cover, and my sewing machine isn't here...
Don't worry, she is OK :-) She's just away for the weekend! So am I, really - during the day at least. We are in the middle of a log cabin workshop at my guild and have had lots of fun stitching together today. The only problem was that I got home full of inspiration, but having left my machine in the classroom, I really can't work on any of my WIPs right now. Which shouldn't be a problem - I could use the opportunity to tidy up in my sewing room - my sewing table looks like someone vomited fabric onto it, but knowing myself I don't think that's going to happen right now - I wouldn't be here blogging about it, but in there doing it then, wouldn't I? ;-)
I've got dinner in the oven, and will probably settle in the sofa with a good movie and this slow cloth project instead. It is heavily inspired by Jude and Kim's work, but I haven't got really good at tearing myself away from all the (self- imposed) "rules" of sewing yet, so I guess I will end up with something more structured. But at least it is a step in a more organic direction, which is fun to explore, so I'll keep at it from time to time and see where it takes me...
