I shared on my I Like Thursday #99 that I got a peg board. Well I managed to hang it and it actually is straight!
I have hung a bunch of my larger rulers and the baskets are holding some smaller ones. I am pretty pleased with it overall.
I also bought a cork strip which I hang things that I love.
I jokingly stated that if I finish something I can start something new. Well I have actually finished a couple of things lately. Well almost finished. I have been really trying to stay on task.
The Mod Geo Cruiser Jr. I am currently sewing on the binding. I have a quilt label designed, and I know I need to put on a hanging sleeve. I work on it when I have time to sit for a few minutes without being pestered by a dog.
I finished the quilting on a winter quilt I bought from a LQS a few years ago. I even have the fabric for the binding.
I need to trim/square up the quilt and cut the binding, and get it sewn on. I will do that after I finish the handwork for the Mod Geo Cruiser Jr.
As I am cleaning, putting away, and inventorying what I have quilting wise I started a spread sheet. One tab is UFO's. I count a UFO as anything that I have fabric, a pattern, and started to cut out. The main theme is it has to had some type of action, other than buying the fabric. As of March 26, 2020 I have found and charted 96 UFO and have actually finished 4, so I will tentatively say I have 92 UFO, but I am sure I have more and as I find them I add them to the list. I have different categories of where they are in the process all the way to the final label.
I have a quilting tab which lists the quilts waiting to be quilted. When I start to quilt, finish, and start and finish the binding and even as far as making a label.
Finally I have a tab for the quilts that I have kits, or have fabric, a pattern and have kitted up myself. I have 38 as of last count, but I know I have others that are not listed.
I will say it is a real eye opener on what I need to work on. I have been plucking the low hanging fruit and moving stuff along. I have mentioned before I hate doing borders for some reason. But I grabbed those quilts and accomplished a little each day.
I got the borders on the yellow brick road quilt. I have a batting and a backing I need to pull out to get the wrinkles out, so I can sandwich this one.
I have the borders partially on the saw toothed square quilt. I just need to miter the corners. I have a batting and backing for this one also which I need to pull out so that the wrinkles will work out before I sandwich.
I went on a hunt and found the Alletaire Quilt, the directions, and one of the border fabrics. The final border is just black.
Borders are an easy sew after I get off work, even if I only get one border on a night that is progress.
Today was a day off for me from work so I sewed a wee bit. I finished the Dresden Charity Quilt Top for Guild.
I finished the last block of the BOM we were doing for the Tuesday sewing group.
I put all of the blocks on the wall. I originally thought of setting them on point, but I didn't like it the chevron looking block looked funny on point to me. I think they need something maybe a block to tie them all together and alternating the blocks and adding sashing and cornerstones.
This quilt was made from my Bonnie and Camille
Recently I saw this and embroidered a pillowcase for my bed using my embroidery machine.
I saw a free quilt pattern called Circle of Friend by Robert Kaufman, you can find it on their website, and decided that I wanted to make it so I have been accumulating the fabric.
There are 25 different purples Kona purples in this quilt. I don't order stuff from Missouri Star often but I was mighty impressed with how they labeled each and every one.
During this time I have been trying to support small stores. I found these awesome fat quarter bundles.
I saw this pattern by Gnomeangel and knew I had to make it someday.
I think it would be an awesome way to use scraps. Oh all the background are pieced squares so I need to start pulling my neutrals from my stash.
I saw this BOM and knew I had to join. It is called Southwest Sunrise.
I already bought the background fabrics, but I think a lot of the different blocks can be made from scraps from my stash. Awe heck, I know they can.
During this quarantine time have you seen all the Sew alongs that have been posted.
Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket quilts has a mystery block a day quilt going. I have been saving the steps, it looks gorgeous so far, even if I haven't had a chance to sew along.
One of the LQS is doing a block a day also using Moda Blockheads Round 2. Daily we get a new pattern via e-mail.
Piecing the Past Quilts is having a Comfort and Joy Civil War quilt Sampler which will start in April, you just need to sign up. I have a lot of Civil war fabrics.
River's Edge Antiques and Quilts also has a mystery Quilt a long going.
Have you joined any of these quilt along parties?
Finally I accumulated some cute boy fabrics.
I wonder whatever will I make with these?
I have a charity project on the quilter. I think I will pull an old project and finish it up, and then choose a new project to start to work on. Oh the decisions.
