Getting It Done – January!
I’m pretty proud of myself to the progress I have made this month! So for January I really want to get done: 1. Get the background of the center part of the Ducky quilt pieced. Done! 2. Get the flowers appliqued to the center part of the Ducky quilt. Done! 3. Pick a pattern and …
mock cathedral windows quilt – November ufo finished
Yes, I did it! I finished it, Friday, so I even actually finished it in November. I am happy with it. There is a small amount of pattern but it is not super rigid. In the end I added some brighter colors, notably yellow, green and orange that lightened it up a little. Challenges: …
November ufo
What quilt is this that laid to rest under my sewing table for nearly a year? Can you see it peeking out of the random materials I laid on top of it? Yes, we are finally back to the denim cathedral windows quilt. I have great faith that I will finish it in November. Now, …
August ufo part 2
Yes, I did, not one but two ufos in August. And I completed them both! This rug I am really excited about because it came out so thick and wonderful. The denim strips are very tightly packed and it makes an excellent bath mat. I wish I had thought a little more about color when …
beginnings and enders
So, in the process of finishing my denim rug ufo, I got out all of my denim scraps to make more strips. But because I am a quilter or crazy, I couldn’t just cut the strips. I had to cut a new batch of ender leaders. 2014 ufo here I come!
productive lazy day
I worked on the satin quilt on Friday afternoon so I had yesterday free to work on the angel quilt. So I alternated between sewing and reading for the whole day, with two lovely breaks at a bag garage sale and a walk around the lake. It was such a great day. I began by …
January ufo wrap up
Here is what I have of the ducky quilt, my January. I also have many more cut including some different flowers: tulips, pansies and roses. I also have the actual ducks ready to be appliqued. This isn’t a finish, that wasn’t my goal since this quilt is so new. Judy said to set reasonable goals, so …
quilting queue
I finished pin basting two more quilts yesterday morning: This one is pinned at least. I don’t have any intention on how to quilt it yet. Next week I probably will do some hand quilting on Saturday morning. I backed it with red polar fleece (you can see a little bit in the right corner) so it will …
denim quilt
I finished my first ender leader quilt top. Now it just needs to be quilted. What an easy project! I love these simple denim quilts because they have a real minimist appeal. You can barely see it but I did some hand stitching. The stitching is just long parallel lines of running stitches. I need to pick up …
another small quilt top done
Here is the second small quilt top done. I think I love this one even more. I had the large center completed when I started. It was left over from the Valentine quilt I made last April for Mary Beth. I used improvisational piecing to put the rest of the blocks together. I used almost no measuring. Much …
