What I'm Working On Feb 13th

This week I'm working on two St. Patrick Day Quilts.  One on the wall St. Patrick's 1 top is done.  St. Patrick 2 is a disappearing nine patch.  Two rows sewn together so far.  I have rental time on Tuesday for the long arm so I'm working to get everything ready.

What I'm Working On and A Give Away

I started a new project this week.  Two memory quilts.  So far I've ironed on the stabilizer and started cutting the squares to size.

There is a short due date for this pair of quilts which means my other projects are not getting a lot of attention.

I'm still working on my Christmas sew-a-long, this has become my Thursday night Quilt Club project and stays in my bag for Thursday.  Also working on the boarders for my QOV

I'm also a giving away five fat quarters to mark my 100th post.  Go here and leave a comment for chance to win.

WIP-- Will it be a UFO Again?

I started this Christmas quilt last December and called it a Christmas Quickie, Ha Ha!  because I wanted to make a quick little quilt for Christmas.  You can see how far I got.



 

I pulled it out last week  to look at finish up this Christmas.  Well I have the borders sewn but I've had Christmas gift projects on my table so just as soon as I get that cleared off I can attach the borders and it just might get quilted by next Christmas.  Sometimes you just can't rush a Christmas quilt.

What are you working on?  I'm linking with Freshly Pieced today to see what everyone is working on.

Have a happy Wednesday

Stash Report, Design Wall, NewFO Catch-Up

Oh My!  I'm so behind.  Work and the long weekend is my story and I'm sticking to it.

Stash Report has not changed.  I've been sewing but can't count the fabric yet.  So the short version of my stash report is:  No fabric in or out and my total is still -45.5.  With is being National Sewing Month maybe I'll be able to move those numbers.



My design wall is empty :(  I took down my churn dash blocks to put up some t-shirt blocks.  I've finished the churn dash blocks so now it's triangles.

I did some cleaning up in the sewing room too.  Sometimes you just have to stop and clean up to see where you're going.   Ok just a little clean-up, I didn't want to go overboard or I wouldn't be able to find anything.

 



I took down the t-shirts and laid them out on the floor, for some reason laying t-shirt quilts on the floor is easier for me.



Goal this week is to sash up the t-shirt quilt and make those setting triangles for the churn dash blocks.

 

I started a NewFO on Thursday, I really hadn't planned to start a new FO in August (bet you haven't heard that one before) but I saw the box of fabric that I'd been saving and then I thought well I should make start that quilt for someone's Christmas present.  Pulled it out and started cutting.  I'd planned to do it as a leader/ender but I'm not real good at that.  When I have the blocks cut out I want to sew them now!  We'll see how I do with it. Can't show too much, Christmas and all that, but this is a special quilt and I'm taking pic and writing about it in my head so you'll get the full story.



 

WIP - T-shirt quilt.  This is a throw size so once I have the lay-out I like it should come together. Christmas gift-Still cutting.  Churn  Dash- need those setting triangles.

My upholstery class starts up tonight, this makes me happy.  I'll get to see my upholstery buddies and I'm starting on a new chair.  I'm thinking about Upholstery Thursday during the school year.  If I can figure out that link stuff I'll make it a linking party of upholstery projects.

I'm late but I'm still linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for the Stash Report and Design Wall Monday.

Check out the other NewFO at Cat Patches, and Barbara's beautiful photography .

Today I'm linking up for WIP at Freshly Pieced.

Thursday-June List-WIP

So how is Finish It Up June coming along?  I so glad you asked.  I have a big item crossed off a list, just not the quilting list.  I mentioned that I had other list, House, Yards, Furniture and Everything Else.  A big cross off on the House list is the Shipping/Office. I didn't remember to get a before photo, but let's just say you would have been surprise to know that the carpet in that room is blue.    It had become a real catch all room.   This is a temporary room while we are working on the rest of the house.  It is really the formal dining room in the house,  but now it is functional and CROSSED off my list!!!

I'm thrilled to be crossing things off my Lists.  I've stopped adding things to the list, well at least nothing major.  Today I'll be finishing up a few furniture pieces...more to cross off !!!!

I'm looking forward to making a good dent on my quilting list this Sunday.

Happy Thursday
