First off, I love having my kids and husband home on holidays. But, man, I pay for it the rest of the week!
This week, I am actually surprised that I have a FINISH despite Baby Button's Birthday and Party! However, to many WIPs and UFOs I could cry...
Finished:
I only have a sneak peek because I haven't edited all the pictures yet. It was a really fun, easy Sunday project. Especially because I could delay laundry until Monday!!
A special project for my pugs!
In Progress:
I finished the one elaborate blanket last week and
am almost finished with the second. Unfortunately, My basket filled
with THREE more this week!
Rainbow Layer Cake Swap
I finally made a decision on my layer cake assignments for my Distant Pickles swap. Purple and Red-Purple. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the fabric I really wanted that was there before..and I can't order any online now because I have very little time since I need to mail it out. The one thing I have learned, is that I really need to check out some of the other local quilt fabrics. My shop doesn't have the most modern of fabric choices!
Button was insistent on the stripe. He kept yelling at me in baby talk and grabbing it from the shelf. The quilt shop ladies said he was trying to tell me something! Hopefully, everyone will like my choices?
No Progress:
Christmas quilt. Hasn't budged. This one makes me cry. I think I will force myself to work on it tonight or tomorrow.
Thank you quilt. Fabrics still not cut.
Donation quilt (from Christmas time) Fabrics still not cut.
Baby Button's twin bed quilt. Design finally decided on. Fabrics not cut. I am not even sure the fabrics are going to even work...
New Projects:
Special baby girl quilt
I was commissioned to make a special quilt so I could include the embroidery prints I do over on Butterfly Kisses.
I found a quilt on Tracey's blog again. Hopefully she won't mind! It just seemed to be the right quilt for this mom that wanted a "girly quilt.
The circle will be for the baby's name and feet prints!
My fabric arrived last week.
Not all of it is for the quilt...I may have gone over my head in regards to my first foray into online fabric buying....
8th Grade Auction T-shirt quilt
Ever wonder what 72 middle school t-shirts look like in a pile?
This HAS to be done by the April. I already have a plan in mind. But first I want to scan each t-shirt into my EQ7 to see if my plan is actually a good one!! Right now? It looks like it will be AT LEAST a queen size. Thank goodness for Ole Betsy!
holy gorgeous mock-up and fabrics! Wow -- it will make that look so pretty! ♥
ReplyDeleteAnd you've got plenty going on there friend!
Lots of neat projects in the works. I think Button may be a quilter in the making!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I had taken a picture with my phone! He was too cute today!
DeleteI'm drooling over that fabric!
ReplyDeleteI "MAY" have overbought so I could have "scraps".
