It’s not a ‘Friday Night Sew In’, but I wish it was!  Instead, I’m cutting my solid background strips for my upcoming test pattern class on Monday.  I’ve been standing here pressing and cutting 3 yards of fabric.  I’ve got my first cuts done:  (5) 10×42, (7) 4×42, and (16) 2×42.

Here they are:

Next step is to sub-cut them into (10) 10×21, (13) 4×21, and (31) 2×21 strips.

But I’d much rather be pressing and cutting something that I could actually SEW tonight!  I’ve had some Riley Blake ‘Boo To You’ in a bag in my sewing pantry for almost 2 years.  I took it out tonight to stroke/fondle it, and I’d REALLY like to do something with it, but I need to be good and get these strips cut for class.

I cut my prints earlier in the week and it didn’t go so well.  I posted about it here.  *sigh*  I’m still not over it!  So far the solids are going much better…knock on wood!

I guess I’ll have to wait until the next Friday Night Sew in that Heidi and Bobbi host.  It’s on Friday, September 21, and I hope to be sitting at my sewing machine busting out something for Halloween.
