Avoiding Bias....

Last Sunday I avoided bias by going antiquing with Dee and her family.  We both loved this chair.


Saw some great quilts.


Dee held this one up for a picture.


By Monday I was avoiding bias by working on my Itty Bitty Project.  By the time I finished the block on the bottom left (Flower Garden) bias was beginning to look fun!

Tuesday, I avoided bias by going to King's Island.  Riding roller coasters in 100 degree heat is bound to take your mind off bias!!  While there, I noticed how handy drawstring backpacks are.  But, being hot, I was not longing for the synthetic variety.

Wednesday, I avoided bias by using a charm pack that I won from my LQS to make this super-cute, non-sysynthetic, drawstring backpack.

I used solids that I won earlier this year.  Since there were no notions used, this bag was free!!!
I think that the charm pack was Just Wing it by Mo Mo.



Thursday, I avoided bias by tidying up the sewing corner.  This great basket organizer was a wonderful gift from a quilty friend.  Thanks Shannon!!


Picked this up at Marshall's for some scrap management.


I really like that I can slide the baskets out.


I love that it slides out of the way under my ironing board.


So finally, I needed to face the bias.  I think that I will likely use a gallon of starch on this quilt. 


Four rows down, four rows to go.  I am determined to finish this soon, bias and all!!

Blessings,

KT
