My Q3 list and my Q2 list didn't change much. Work was crazy busy. Summer is in full swing. I hope I have a few finishes to show.
I made progress on my Go Four It quilt by adding another row.
I got a LOT of applique done on one of the current projects in my Sew To Go bag. These are for a baby quilt called Catchin' Some Rays. I need to do some flowers next.
I got found an old cross stitch project from the 80's. I hope this to be a Q3 finish.
I've been piddling with a bag that I won during the orphan adoption from Cathy who blogs at
Cathy's CRAZY BY DESIGN. It's the
Dot Dot Dash Bag. All the hard parts are already completed by Cathy. The fabrics are gorgeous! The bag was designed by Sara Lawson (of
Sew Sweetness).
The embroidery on this crib quilt is complete. I need to get it on the longarm for the next step.
Here's another crib quilt that has all of the embroidery complete:
I have three jelly roll rugs planned. I got the pattern recently from the Fat Quarter Shop. I have my Best Press and iron ready to go. I have cut the cream strips. I'm going to try to make three rugs that have watermelon as the color inspiration. I will be cutting scraps and using them up to make these rugs. No fabric will be purchased. I have a "helper" that will be cutting strips of left over batting for me as well. I have tons of batting piece parts that will do the trick.
This QA with Pat Sloan quilt top is complete. It needs quilted and bound.
I'd like to finish this big card trick quilt for charity for my local quilt guild.
I need to get caught up on my mystery quilt so graciously led by Kevin the Quilter.
I need to get caught up on my Gypsy Wife QA.
I could work on my 100 Modern Blocks City Sampler quilt. I haven't decided on a setting just yet.
A little project is this ruler purse. The directions are kinda sketchy... I don't know how many rulers are in each purse if you double them or not. Gotta research that.
I forgot to add this WIP to my list... I won these orphan blocks from my guild.
I'd love to finish my Garden Party (pattern by Bonnie Hunter) quilt for my friend her May birthday.
I need a few more circles for my Picadilly Circle quilt. This is a slow-process quilt...
I'm working on the cross stitch on this pillow sham.
I have a lot of fun projects to work on. Here's my whole list...
Beware if you're a one-project-at-a-time person!
