Before I get in to the DWM report I want to remind you of a couple of things.
If you are making the Back to Square One Mystery quilt be sure to post your progress at Judy's blog to be entered to wind some free hand dyed fabric. The drawing is tomorrow!
If you want a chance to win the Heart Coasters that I made be sure to enter the Thankful Thursday post.
I've been pretty single-focused lately. I spent so much time in December and January dyeing the Back to Square One kits that I wasn't able to dye much for the shop. Well it's time to remedy that so I am dyeing twice a week now and that means washing and ironing twice a week too. It doesn't leave a lot of sewing time but the shop is filling up again.
Here's 6 yards each of Envy and Under the Sea gradients ready to be washed. Look for some "new in the shop" posts soon!
The prep work on the Dancing Stars quilt is still paying off. I have only had a few minutes to sew each day but it's been enough to finish set 7 of the blocks (I"m working backwards from set 11 to set 1).
Set 6 is started. One I finish this set I will add the blocks from sets 6 and 7 to the quilt and I will be over half way done!
Yesterday I watched the Super Bowl and the kiln. A friend gave me some sheets of these 3 glasses. I cut them and fused them with clear and later this week I will slump them into molds. These sheets of glass are a different COE than the glass that I've chosen to work with so they had to be fused alone. These sheets are so pretty that they didn't need anything else added to them.
Now I need to get back to the ironing board and put the finishing touches on the new palette that will roll out tomorrow. Go on over to Patchwork Times and see what everyone else is doing.
Those sheets of glass are pretty! Your star blocks are coming along quickly.

Loved all the color in your blog and did you notice the 3 pieces of glass have the same colors of your Dancing Stars. Your sets are coming along rather quickly!

I really love the blue you used, it really sets off the stars beautifully.

Your Dancing Star blocks are so beautiful! The hand dyes add such an extra depth to them.
