Works in Progress

Black & White & Red all over Disappearing 9 Patch Baby quilt. Not quite finished, WIP!

Summer Quilt for my Mama; layout stage. Muffin is a good helper.

Ever have a moment when you see fabric and you OOOOH out loud?! Yeah. This one I might have to keep! Muffin approved.

My sewing room; the cutting table is a fold up that goes away  so we can still use the room for guests.

Spring (!!!) Cleaning

It started snowing overnight....yesterday it was plus 8!!

Today.... cold and it's snowed alllllll day.

So, THIS happened outside. It didn't stop until oh, 7pm.

SO, since I was snowed in, I decided to finally, FINALLY attack my Sewing Room of Doom.

Since I moved in back in May, I haven't really had time to git in here and go thru stuff. Like, the filing cabinet. And um, bins and bins of fabric.

I'm so embarrassed by how much of an explosion I created I couldn't even post photos. Nope. Nuh-uh.

When it's cleaner, hopefully this week, there shall be photos.

Checkerboard Top Finished!

Just a quick catchup on the progress of the Checkerboard Quilt.
Not the best pic; sorry. It's a bit rumply.

The top is done; it is a bit bigger than I originally intended; it's twin sized, and I was going to make it a lap quilt but;
sometimes they have their own minds.

I used a jellyroll of Moda 30's solids and Kona Cotton in ash for the checks and some border and then Kona Coal for the darker grey border. I think I am in love with Kona Coal, yessiree.

 I only used HALF the roll; so you could easily make this quilt with the full roll to a queen sized quilt;
and with creative borders push it to a king I don't doubt.

It goes on the pile of To Be Quilted; there are a bunch to be quilted for the May 5th HBBA Home show. Yay!

(It's my first show since Christmas; that show completely burned me out but that's also because I wasn't truly prepared. Read about that fiasco here. )

Enjoy your weekend folks!

Checkerboard QIP!

Hi there!

I've been wanting to make this pattern by Molly Deschenes over at Apple Cyder for awhile now.  When I found the Moda 30's solids jellyroll combined with Kona Ash; well... I knew it immediately;  THIS was the fabric!

Isn't it amazing when you find the fabric and have that AH HA! moment? When you know *exactly* what you're going to make with it? I love that.

And this pattern is super easy to follow; once I figured out the whole left/right things. Ha.

Here is the QIP: (Quilt In Progress)

All the Strips; it made a pretty flag!

 

ly stages of piecing. You can see the tape I use to keep track of the A Blocks.

I'm going to work on finishing this today. (And nope, this one is mine, you can't have it. Nyah.!)

Have a great Sunday!

Holy Cow,it's WIP Again! Yay!

Okay so I'm almost caught up...um, sorta....heh.

Here's my updates for WIP Wednesday:

 

This quilt is a custom order; just awaiting FMQ and binding, to be done tonite after work. Yay!

Circus Animal Quilt

 

This is a custom memory quilt made from baby clothes and blankets. A bit of a challenge, but it is awating quilting and binding..

Baby Clothes Memory Quilt

 

A custom order, new this week, so needs to be sandwiched, basted and quilted.

A custom order Rail Fence with creams and browns.

 

This colour block quilt is for me; I LOVED the colours of the fabric.I had a "Oooh" moment in the fabric store and it was almost painful to cut into this fabric (I know you know what I mean) but it came together with hot pink blender cotton that I love it even more now. I decided to make it bigger, queen bed sized, so adding more as I go.

Colour Block Quilt

Other quilts:

My Pink & Green Railfence: No progress

Misc quilt tops for store: Some extra blocks assembled, no real big woop progress this week.

That's it for now, I'm off to work. More quilting to be done later tonite!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, here in Elgin County the temps went back up nicely today!

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's WEDNESDAY!!!

 

It's WIP WEDNESDAY!

Okay! Time to get seriously focused here.

Projects to finish this week::

Finish quilting the Teenagers' P&G Quilt....this pic is just the top; I just have to finish quilting the sashing and bind it!

I have to cut these and start on my modified Hawaiian Sunset pattern. This will become TWO quilts; one king and one queen. 

Both are for Christmas. Am I insane????

Last but not least...I have to finish tidying up this one and start quilting it. Not sure but I think I'll quilt just INSIDE the blocks cuz the shiny fabric might not work out to well with being quilted. I'll test it...but I'm pretty sure I'll leave the shiny bits be.

Alright! I'm off to the Quilt Cave to start my day! Enjoy your WIP Wednesday, may it be productive and FUN!
