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: …
ufo on track
So, I have five more parts and this is done. Right now I am out of thread, but I plan to go to Joanne’s tonight to remedy that. Then I have two more squares left with the red edge, then three more seams and then three more finishing sections and I am done! Yay!
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
little bits
I am up to things they are just small things. I started a new ender leader quilt. My denim ender leader quilt is nearly finished, the top anyway, needing only a border then to be quilted. I am following in the footsteps of Deanna over at Wedding Dress Blue. She is on her second leader …
progress
Yesterday I was so productive. I woke up at six am and really worked. I got all of the orange centers put in the denim quilt. Now the next step is arranging the squares, making decisions about what other colors to put in. I already know that the very outer edge will be yellow and …
Leader-ender denim
I have been quietly working on a Leader Ender quilt. When you begin a chain of piecing and you end chain of piecing, it is best to use a scrap of fabric. When it sewn that way, there is no thread waste on the chain. These scraps are called leader enders. So instead of just using a scrap …
progress
Lots of progress this Saturday. I inserted the orange squares into three of my sets of 16. I have another six pinned and ready to go. I chose to put batting in, after some mental debate, because I really wanted the pillowy effect the batting has. It is going to be a heavy quilt, and …
