Jungle Magnolia Month 2 Started

 Hi all -

I hope everyone is doing well! It's hard to believe, buy my great niece had her six-month birthday last weekend. She's getting bigger and bigger each day. I wasn't able to make it to the party, but they sent me some wonderful pictures. What a cutie!!

We got our second fabric packet for the Jungle Magnolia BOM designed by Judy Niemeyer this week. This month we are working on the G units and then attaching them to the H units from last month. I was able to finish my G units. 

Jungle Magnolia - Individual G unit

Jungle Magnolia - All of the G1 Units

Jungle Magnolia - All of the G2 Units

Then I started attaching the G units to the H units from last month. I started with the smaller H units since I figured they would be easier. Most of the time was spent in removing the papers before attaching the units!

Jungle Magnolia - H2/G2 Units

I also got one of the larger units attached.

I'm making this project my highest priority so that it doesn't become another lingering WIP (Work In Progress) making me feel guilty! I should be able to finish attaching these pieces by tomorrow. I think you can probably tell from the pictures that one of the hardest part of this project is keeping all of the units organized so that you don't accidentally sew the wrong pieces together. I'm getting to understand the pattern better so this is becoming easier for me. Pink Door is starting to do better on the support end, too. The support video was available around the time the new fabric arrived (I live near the shop so my fabric arrives the day after it is shipped). And we also had our first Q&A zoom session.

I've also continued to make progress on my Fading Stripes shawl designed by Beata Jezek.

I made some good progress on this project and might have it finished by next week. I added a couple of repeats to my Peach Sorbet Throw designed by Janine Myska.

Not as much progress here, but it does keep moving along. I really do enjoy working on this blanket!

I was feeling the need to do some more embroidery, so I started working on this little kit:

Sorry the picture is so bad! The background is actually pure black, but the light caused some flaring in the camera lens. This will be another quick little project, but it will be fun to do.
