Another Almost Finish

Yesterday I managed to finish piecing together the top of the quilt I'm making for my mother in law. To be honest I didn't think I was going to like the fabric, but now that I'm seeing it together it is very pretty. It has an heirloomish feel to it. She really likes it.

This was my first attempt at making Flying Geese and I will never make them using precuts again. I've sinced learned a different way to do it and they come out much more accurate. Still, it was a good learning experience. The quilt is French Vanillla Rounds from The Pastry Shoppe by Joanna Figueroa. Today I will go and purchase backing fabric and start on the quilting. I have this week off for spring break so I should be able to finish it in that time.
Monday is my last sewing class so I should have my dress finished by then. I've gotten the lining in it and added the zipper and it fits! I love it! I've also decided that I am going to sign up for the next round of classes. The ladies that I'm taking the class with are also signing up and I enjoy chatting with them. I've also learned so much and if I can use it as professional development there's no reason not to continue. I haven't decided what I'm going to make yet.
My fashion studies class is also going well. My grade 10s are finally done ttheir first module and are happily sewing their first project which means that I can work on my own stuff while they sew. I'm putting together my blockapalooza blocks at school so I'll have a bunch of those to share once I'm done.
We also booked a Vegas trip for the summer as well. This will be our third visit and although we hadn't planned on going back some friends of ours suggested we go together. I'm looking forward to it and I'm picked up a Nervous Fliers Handbook to help me out a bit. I'm also excited about being able to take my Kindle with me, how silly is that lol.
Its also given me a weight loss goal because I want to be down at least another 10-15 lbs before we go.
