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...

The remark about your sewing table looking like someone vomited fabric onto it made me LOL! That's like mine!!!
A workshop sounds like fun! I'll have to wait and take classes when the kids are a little older, but it does sound like a great time!
