progress
I got a lot done this weekend so I have a lot to show you! I am making good progress on my Christmas stockings. I have the monograms done and ready to sew to the stockings. I am on track to finish my first ufo for 2012! On Friday night, after much complaining and irritation, and …
ufo 2012
Judy at Patchwork Times is doing another UFO project for 2012, and I am going to give it a shot again. I had seven finishes out of twelve last year so I am feeling that I was successful. Only four of my projects are going to be a repeat for 2012 (one I just gave …
lost rotary cutter
I lost my rotary cutter and it was my big sewing Saturday. Sigh. So, I did what I always tell my kids to do when they can’t find something - clean. Here’s what I found: The front of a Spiderman t-shirt. A lizard embroidery. A half-finished block. A grandmother’s flower garden block from my grandmother. No, no rotary …
August Ufo
Yes, I finished it! I expect I will trim it and sew it onto some kind of back. I think it will eventually be part of a tiny quilt. I started this a long time ago and carried in my purse for several years. Periodically, I would take it out and do a little bit. …
January ufo finished!
I managed to finish it with just one day to spare! I am actually quite pleased with it. The colors turned out great. I added the red ties because I thought it would be difficult to quilt. It turned out not to be, but I love the effect. It has a really homemade old-fashioned look. …
2011 ufo challenge
I found this 2010 UFO Challenge by Patchwork Times. I love the idea of tying up loose strings, but I have a lot of anxiety. Will I finish all these projects? Will I finish any of these projects? Some of these projects are not quilts, so I hope that Patchwork Times doesn’t mind my stretching …
snowed in
Snowy week! 18 inches. The boys are so excited because they had not one but TWO days off from school. I would go into a long tirade of how it was different when I was a kid but kid-wise, it wasn’t better this time. For adults, the good old days were better. Now my kids have …
unfinished
Here’s an odd little bit of something I made. What will it be? I don’t know. It may be a tiny quilt. It may be part of a card. I made it several weeks ago, and as of yet it doesn’t have a home. This is why my sewing room is so cluttered.
cleaning
I spent an hour picking up my sewing room last night. I have so many little bits of things. I know these little bits of fabric, beads or odd little half finished projects are future finished projects, future art. My favorite tiny quilts are made of little bits of things. However, as a whole, they …
december
I have been sewing, just doing an extraordinary poor job of posting. I spent some time making Christmas stockings. I made them from some upholstery sample I got from my mom. They turned out very nice as vessels for little presents for S’s piano students and my Sunday school kids. Also, I have been …
