Well, me! If I want to make progress on my Papaver Pizazz quilt top today.
Over the last couple of days I have made some good progress and I want to continue that on my days off. But sleep is eluding me tonight.
Sew what's a girl to do?
Write a blog post of course.
In my last post I mentioned that I needed to get back to the secret stuff, so might not have much to show, but as previously mentioned, I have been making good progress elsewhere too.
On Sunday after writing about the Zoom along I went into my room where I cut and started to applique the stems for Papaver Pizazz.
You can just see them here on this photo I took on Monday before work.
Five narrow green strips.
I appliqued the last two down on Monday Morning. Then I set about tracing all of the leaves.
As you can see above I weighted three lengths of very curly freezer paper under my long ruler before heading off to work on Monday afternoon.
But they were still very curly on Tuesday morning when I fused and cut out all those leaves.No nice simple classic leaf shapes here, oh no, it's like trying to cut out Fjords!
But I got them all done and even managed to get the first two fused into place, ready to applique today.
Sew, although the pictures are really not that exciting, I feel like I have made great progress.
Oh, and I have also made great progress on the July secret Christmas Ornament.
Sew I'm a tired but happy girl.

I might go back to bed now to see if I can get some more sleep.
Pussy cat Belle has disappeared from her spot on the sofa. I bet you that means she has taken up my spot on the bed!
I hope you're sleeping better than I am.

Goodluck sleeping..... At least you were productive......
Those leaves sure are like cutting out Fjords, they will look sensational once done.
I hope you got some sleep, I am like that too, some nights sleep comes others it doesn't.
Looking forward to seeing more of your poppy piece - hope you got some sleep. xx
I’m intrigued with your quilt. I hope you got back to sleep.
Love your leaves, sorry you couldnt sleep though
yep secret sewing makes it hard to have things to talk about! and I am no good at keeping secrets - so I am proud of you!! Hopefully you will get a good night sleep
At least you made the most of your no sleeping time.
Very frustrating, though.
It only makes sense to get up and do something if you cannot sleep! I do hope that is not a regular thing for you though. Sleep is important.
Time consuming but looking totally worth the effort! Enjoy your stitching time.
