Knowing that the current sewing room chaos had the potential to be mojo destroying, I opted for a kit, about eighteen months old from Parson Gray. Definitely an easy option, but achievable and goodness knows I just needed something to get me back into the sewing chair. Despite some early anxiety about cutting out and not messing up the reversed templates, it all went well and before I knew it I was sewing and pinning like the good old days. And soon there was this...
I am super happy with it and so is my son, the happy recipient. It was nice to make something in this manly palette...I love the charcoals, blues and olives. A nice range.
So, this afternoon has been spent tidying and organising my room.
I am keen to finish some other projects that have been gathering dust...
Especially this one.

My sewing machine doesn't recognize me and the dust bunnies have formed a colony! I spent yesterday cleaning and purging when I'd rather be creating something as lovely as this gorgeous manly quilt. Happy New Year!
Ohh what a lovely quilt, very very nice. I hope your quiet time lasts a little longer.
Easy? That doesn't look easy! It does however look gorgeous. Love it ...and so will your son.
Im still waiting for my mojo to return ...I have no idea where it's gone. Perhaps my holidays will help me find it?
Love it...whose pattern please?
Great quilt! Glad your mojo is back, hope you can chisel out a bit more time stitching :)
It must be in the air, I've found my sewing mojo too.
Love the Parson Gray quilt.
Love the colour palette for your son always Nice to see different colours together enjoy your Lull!
I really like that one, no wonder your son is happy with it. Good to hear you're back doing some sewing. Love these days between Christmas and new year.
Oh, your Parson Gray quilt is wonderful! All those sweeping curves- great job! And I can see why you want to get back to that last quilt- very pretty! I love the lull between Christmas and New Year- our suburb is deserted!
Love your son's quilt. A good start on quilting and a tidy room as well.
