WIP Wednesday -- November Already!

This is my busy season for quilting customers and sewing.  Throw in an unexpected baby shower quilt, an out-of-state customer rush quilt order, and a costume for Henry Hudson (Explorer Day).

I'm putting the binding on this customer rush quilt order.  The customer selected fleece for the back.  the front is a t-shirt quilt.  Hopefully I'll have it in the mail tonight to return to her.  I'll be showing it off for my Friday finish this week.

 

I put two rows of EPP hexies together for my table runner.  It's going to look kinda "modern".

 

 

Then I went to another assignment (band teacher, LOL) and added a few more...

 

I think they look pretty cool against the piano keyboard.

 

We FINALLY had a sunny day with no rain on Sunday.  It was nice to get out and get some air!

I'm waiting until next week to make his Henry Hudson costume.  I'm kinda excited to make the ruff collar.  It may be a challenge.  It's not due until 11/19.

 

 

Here's the t-shirt quilt when it was on the frame this weekend.

 

 

I stretched my leader grips on my longarm frame because of the thick fleece as backing.  They are over six years old.  They were getting a little brittle anyways.  Hope Santa sees this post.  LOL.

 

I have my shopping list for paint numbers for the Bonnie Hunter mystery this year.  I hope to participate or at least do a half quilt.  I LOVE the colors this year.

 

I completed the stitching on this sham!

 

I finished all of the blocks with EPP instead of applique on this Catchin' Some Rays quilt!



I've been working on these leaves and blocks for the little pumpkin that we are having a baby shower for on 11/17!  She's not due until February...  guess they wanted to get it done before the holidays.

 

I finished longarm quilting this coin quilt for a customer.  Whew... I have been super busy!

 

Don't freak out at the 69 projects.  I've had list in the upper 90's in the past.  I did not have any finishes this week.
