WIP Wednesday 1.13.16
My first WIP for the week was these word blocks. They are for Elizabeth at Occasional Piece Quilt. I am part of a "Spelling Bee" This year. There are 11 of us creating words, one person per month. Elizabeth is doing a lovely poem? for Valentines day. Since she is the instigator, she gets to go first! She also gets our first attempts at word piecing. Mine went something like this:
I made sing on evening. By the end of the night, I was wishing that I had never signed up for this! But, I'd rather die than break a commitment, so I soldiered on.
The next afternoon I made for. It was a breeze. Easy Peasy. That night I made joy. No longer in love. But now that I've been done for a week, and seen many other's letters, I'm OK with mine. And now they are Elizabeth's WIP!
Last night I put my color wheel blocks together. As you can see, I still have all the labels pinned. I don't want to forget before I get a label put together for the back.
I've begun my next Four-In-Art project. It is deliberately vague. I don't want to give anything away.
Thanks to a nice gift from Mr. Riley I am hiding a secret sewing project in the very case he gave me. I really don't know if I can get it done for a certain birthday, as I can only work on it during the day. But I'm trying.
And I did some shopping this week in preparation for my niece's quilt. She leans toward the bottom half of the pile. More pastel. I will probably throw a few brights in there to pop, though. And in reality this will probably be a February project. But I am ready! I've even picked out the pattern.
Linking with Lee.

I love your words - what a great idea to have a Spelling Bee!!
The "sing for joy" caught my eye. Great letters! What is the poem? Are you using Tonya Riucci's book for the letters? I found, like you did, that once you get going they get easier. 5 kids?! Whoohoo! :)
You crack me up! I loved the line about how now it is my WIP---so true. By the way, I felt the same as you about some of those letters; good for you for persevering. Thank you thank you!
Your spelling bee looks fun and I love your colour wheel blocks :)
