PART THREE: Chevron style St. Clements quilt

So, woo hoo! I've sewn up 3 columns. 3 down, 2 to go! 

Then life happened and I think I left it on the side in my sewing room whilst I pottered about with other projects and more admin-y type things - the joys of making spreadsheets so that I can actually make my crazy craft workshops work for me financially: slowly but surely. I also talked to an Artist about exchanging French lessons for Batik classes and I am quite excited about that! We also discussed "Man Sheds" which I may blog about later on :)

Right, so what was I saying? Oh yes, once you have your 5 quilt columns sitting on your desk looking fab, but a bit floopy, ... well, what do you think?! You iron your seams! :) Yay! 

Ok, I promise no more waxing lyrical about ironing....

...Still... they look pretty ace all ironed and flat, right?

My Artsy week!

As someone who sees The Arts as somewhat of a guilty pleasure, I feel like I've been snaffling cookies all this week!

Saturday 
Creative Producing Masterclass with Alex McCorkindale & IdeasTap

Sunday
Budgeting my new craft workshops
Marketing/designing flyers for my craft workshops

Monday
Babysitting (AKA climbing up + downstairs together, giggling A LOT, feeding the chickens - she's a pro, watching Peppa Pig and attempting to draw quilt patterns whilst showing my niece how to scribble)

Tuesday
Met up with Tiger Skins of Sunlight to chat about their Summer plans at Martineau Gardens. Promoted my craft workshops by putting up flyers around Moseley
Popped into Transition Arts Gallery by The Dark Horse in Moseley (follow this link!)

Wednesday
After tutoring French (my first lesson and it went really well!) I went to an immense workshop run by Chris Cooper and put on by The Gap Arts project - Who knew enacting reading a newspaper could be that tricky? The stuff discussed developed rich content and more interesting discussions!

So, yes, I had a very exciting week. Tudor sewing club on Friday and I'm really looking forward to meeting and planning my friend's birthday with her soon, too - It's going to be funky and exotic! Feeling a little bit sleepy but very content. It'll definitely be well-earnt sleep!
