Much apologies. Last week, I skipped the party and I'm checking in today much later than normal. But this 5-ish weeks off from work is really starting to mess with my head. It is Saturday, right? Even though I was MIA, I still have been burning rubber flinging thread in my sewing room. No, I haven't finished quilting a quilt, but I have a few more, quilt tops finished (one that I can't show you yet).
First up, we have Cabin Fever. If you've got five fat quarters and 3 yards of background fabric...this free pattern by Amanda at Jedi Craft Girl and Amber of Gigi's Thimble will cure you for sure.
Welcome back to another week of UFO busting and this week that is what I have been working on. As we huddled in for another week of social distancing, I continued on with my pattern testing. Three more rows and I will have that quilt pieced. Since I knew I couldn't show you any of that work, I pulled out some half square triangles and pieced this quilt as a leader/ender project.
Measuring in at around 81" square, Gravity, is a quilt kit that purchased from Blueprint back in early winter. It is neatly folded and has joined the every growing pile of quilt-me quilts.
Welcome back to another week of UFO Busting! I do hope everyone is safe at home and doing well. Here at the Wonderland house hold, it has been another week of hiding in the house and avoiding outside/public as much as possible. This has created lots of quilting opportunities. I've been working on a secret project that I can't show you, but I have managed to sneak in a few things that I can.
Welcome back to UFO Busting! I do apologize for the lack of party last week. With all the craziness going on, I just kind of let the days slip by. But we are back at it this week, with hopefully all of us doing our part to social distance and stay healthy. I found myself with quite a bit of free time and to the machines I ran!
Welcome back to another week of UFO Busting! I'm getting things started off a little late this morning, but I think that has been my whole week. This week I was excited to receive in the mail the border fabric for one of my Out West QAL quilts. Getting that fabric meant I could finish up both block 3's.
This is my red white and blue color way, with fabrics coming from my stash and the addition of the border Moda Fabric line Mackinac Island.
To-do lists. Sometimes if feels like a game of darts. You can see the board. You concentrate as you contemplate and calculate your throw. And you land each little dart perfectly in the center. Some times you drink a beer, blind fold yourself and just start throwing. In those instances you either hit the board somewhere or nothing at all. As long as you had fun...that's all that matters. My list was a total drunkin game of darts this week. But more darts ended up on the board then the floor.
Happy Saturday!!! I hope you are enjoying your Saturday as much as I'm enjoying mine. I plan to have a Sew Saturday starting with block marking at work and sewing with a friend later today. What am I currently marking? I'm so glad you asked.
I was able to cut out five kid charity quilts this week. Once I get the diagonals marked for half square triangles, I should be able to easily sew all of them up in one after noon. I'll tell you more about them (all free patterns) once they are pieced together.
