Claire Sews and Makes

This is a record of creative making, indoors and out, in my life. A space for me to share ideas and reflect on projects. There is the bonus to reach out to other makers. I am a sewist, starting in my teens, and sewing on and off throughout my life. Largely clothes, but with forays into quilting, and the domestic homemaking projects of curtains and blinds. A lover of movement and the outdoors I am happy with my hands in the earth creating, in my minds eye, a pleasing garden space

# 1

A beginning, Well actually just a point at which to begin.

The goal is to re-prioritze creative time; and also to actually finish some things.. Believe it or not there are a few projects around the place which have been started . ..ahem!

So there is the audacious goal - put one of those projects out each week til the end of the year. Hmmm, a tough call perhaps. However with something on the needles when the starting gun sounded it seems manageable enough, so I rounded the count of the number of weeks between now and Christmas out to 26 - half a year.

So here goes.

#1 This is a barn square. The pattern is for a barn-raising quilt, and the author of the pattern author solicited many helpers via the net. There are 42 squares, I have already had some squares gifted to me. This is the 10th square completed.
