latest project going well

Last week I started a new project for the book: a sampler featuring 36 different bullion motifs. It is SO much fun! 36 different motifs – there’s never a dull moment! I am enjoying the fact that after spending months working on a tablecloth that had two main motifs worked millions of times over (ok, slight exaggeration there) that on this project every motif is different.

Of course, they’re not all completely different. Parts are used again and again, but they’re all combined in new ways for each motif.

Its so fresh feeling!

I have been working very hard on it. On Monday, the first day of working the motifs, I got five done. On Tuesday day I managed six. On Wednesday I did seven. (This is starting to feel like “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”.) Yesterday I did not manage eight (!) but I got a good number done as well as doing some class preparation.

So I am over half way already, which is very very pleasing. I’m even thinking that I’d like to do yet another project for the book as soon as this one is done!
