WIP-it Wednesday...
...making progress on a few things.
I painted additional Mid Century Modern coasters. I still had a paint leakage problem, but overall I'm pretty happy with them. I may back them with some felt to add another level of absorption.
Specs:
MCM Painted Coasters
Started 5/9/2023
Finished
5/12/2023
Based on an idea from the internet
I had been struggling with how to pin the two quilts in my finishing queue. We
installed wonderful new floors with the remodel and I did not want to scratch
them up with safety pins. Enter puzzle mats! They provide enough protection
for the floor and give me a cushioned surface to work on. I ordered two sets
on an Amazon timed deal.
When they arrived, I laid them out and sandwiched both quilts. They were barely big enough for the larger of the two quilts, so I'll order another set to have on hand when I make big quilts.
My biggest problem now if where to store them! I really need to do more
purging in my studio!
