The age-old dilemma of "I have this fabric… and I could use it… but what if I want to use it for something else in the future?"
The research fairy

... I haven't really posted any progress photos of my quilt, but in between catching up on work and family after my vacation, I have spent my evenings well.
I'm ready to start quilting my fabric sandwich, stitching in the ditch on my Hindeloopen-fabric quilt.

As I'm in the middle of construction of a small quilt out of these fabrics, I noticed that two remaining "Bonten" pieces did not match well with a remaining "Sitse". A lot of web searching later (Hindeloopen style fabrics are difficult to find online, it seems), I found a new "Bonten" which does match to the "Sitse", so tonight I can use these two to create two new blocks.

When in Hindeloopen... go find the store of Durkje de Boer. She designs amazing Hindeloper fabrics, based on the classic clothes worn by the local women.
Choose between the Sitse or bonten fabrics: can you choose?

After washing these fabrics, I noticed the reds had... well, basically most of the whites in fabrics were now pink. 
But I saved the fabrics, hardly any pink left to see 
And I have been thinking of a quilt (lap size) I want to make and in which combinations. I do not want to wait any longer, so I will start cutting them today.

Thanks everyone for being here this month. #handspinning #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting #sewing #crafting #crossStitch #leathercraft #FiberArts #handmade #embroidery
Up on FehrTrade.com today, I'm showing off a pair of Duathlon Shorts I made using scraps of leftover activewear fabric I found in my stash! Though they don't technically "match", I love the way the cat lily and leopard print fabrics coordinate together.

On a folding table there's an irregularly-shaped piece of fabric with blue flowers and cat eyes. Two paper sewing pattern pieces are laid onto it.
Cycling shorts with a blue floral and cats eye print are partially sewn and lying on a wooden surface. There's a hidden pocket in the leopard print side panels.
Cycling shorts with a blue floral and cats eye print are pinned to an indoor clothes line. A hand is opening up a pocket in the leopard print side panels.
A white woman in her 40s is standing outside next to a bicycle. She is wearing a black sleeveless top and cycling shorts with a blue floral and cats eye print.

My biggest accomplishment was engaging with all of you #FinishOrFrogAlong folks! I finished one washcloth, one spinning project, and 5 hexiflats (including one handspun one). I also cast on the Fox Whisperer shawl after encouragement from all of you!
I love engaging with all ya’ll now and throughout the year. Thanks everyone! Let’s keep the connection energy going!

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A: well, we have talked about our favorite projects and our dream projects. Maybe you found some inspiration from something someone else is working on.
What do you have teed up as your next project? Are you pushing ahead on finishing or frogging more stuff? Or are you casting on or otherwise starting something new?

O joy!
Now I need to let these fabrics live in my head some time until I can match them to the perfect project.

Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! We are at the start of Week 4! Today’s Q&A is: what else do you hope to accomplish this week - or into October if you’re continuing the finish-or-frog-along push? What kind of support might be helpful?

Today’s #FinishOrFrogAlong Q&A — what is one of your favorite finished items that you have made (ever, not just during FOFA)? Feel free to answer multiple times if you have many things you’d like to share with us. I love getting inspired by all the work you’ve done.

Sadly, I am at a standstill, since my sewing machine decided to break last night. Something going wrong in the bobbin seating. Anyway, I have a lovely guy repairing it at a service shop very near me. So return to our regular sewing programming as soon as I get it back. #sewing
It’s ba-ack!
Hello #FinishOrFrogAlong peeps! Today’s Q&A is: what project is on your wishlist to make “someday” - when do you hope to do it or what’s stopping you? Is it a dream, or do you actually plan to make it… someday?
