WIP Wednesday

-
My tops completed list got a lot bigger this week!  Three moved from the WIP list to either at the quilter or waiting for a trip to the quilter.

 Saturday was a sewing day, although no progress was made on quilts.  I had two friends from work over for a sewing playdate, and it was a riot.  They had both complimented a shirt I'd worn to work, and when they found out I made it, they wanted one of their own.  They both had at least a basic knowledge of how to use a sewing machine, but that was about it.  They bought the pattern, and we made the shirt from start to finish.  It was an absolutely wonderful day!  While they were sewing I also managed to cut out several other pieces of clothing, so my clothing list had several new things added as well. 

 My nifty database of projects has crashed, too.  I was using Bento on my iPad, and the program is no longer supported, so I'm going to have to recreate it.  Not easy!  One of those that I just need a long block of uninterrupted time to accomplish.  I think I'm going to use Tap Forms.  It's much easier to keep track of on my iPad, and that program got pretty decent reviews.  We shall see!  Now onto the list...

Pinwheel Charity Quilt - FINISHED!

-

The amazing Jo at Jo's Country Junction  does a ton of wonderful work doing long-arm for charity quilts.  After my friend, Natalie, and I purchased our long-arm, we both wanted to help do charity work, so I reached out to Jo to see if she needed some assistance.  She sent along five quilt tops, along with backings and bindings, and Natalie and I got to work! This first finish is a wonderful, happy, bright pinwheel quilt, made by Sharon Judkins of Hatfield, Arkansas.   (And special thanks to my 11 year old for photographing - she's working on photography for her 4-H projects, and wanted to help out in her own way!) Natalie did the long-arm work on this one.  Each pinwheel got it's own spiral, and there are spirals in all the sashing and borders.  Natalie made sure to get a pinwheel in cornerstone, as well. It was bound in a lovely blue, with the ladies in our local quilt guild stepping up to do the actual binding work.  This one will be donated to Feed the

Kate Spain Charm Swap Finish!

Quite a while ago, I participated in a Kate Spain Charm Swap over at Quilts from my Crayon Box .  I just loved the assortment I got back!  So colorful and bright, and so cheery to just have in a stack and pet.  But I decided to actually use them all.  I wanted a pattern that would really show off the variety of fabrics, and this one from Moda Bake Shop seemed to be a great fit.  I enlarged it to use up all the charms.  It's almost a complete charm quilt - I had to add in just a few duplicates to make enough squares.  I absolutely love the final result! The fabrics have such great variety I didn't really have to consciously do any fabric placement - they all looked good together! I used one of my favorites from terrain for the cornerstones and binding.  The quilter did a great job - outlined the stars and added a small flower to the center of each, with a moderately tight stipple throughout the rest.  I'm completely torn on what to do

Another year of Quarantine

-

The vaccine is rolling, out, but OH SO SLOWLY.  And I'm about dead last on our priority list (as it probably should be - no complaints!) so I just need to keep on going.  I've felt the need for some slow stitching recently, which has done good things for the progress on a lot of old cross stitch UFO's.  I finished the Band Sampler that I did as a round robin a while ago.  It's beautiful, but with Mary Ellen gone I'll have to spend a LOT more than I used to to get it framed!   I've also completed "A Little Quakeresque" sampler - such a lovely project!  And my "12 Days of Christmas" piece is done as well, although I did have to order more floss.  I think it might end up as a pillow cover?  I can't think of a place to hang in during the holidays.    My piecing list is actually pretty under control for a change.  I decided to join in on a quilt along for "All the Good" and I absolutely LOVE how it's turned out.  It was part of a
