Finished & Gifted

Posted in Quilting by

Is it too soon to say this year is flying by? Because it is! And I’m keeping up w/it, making steady progress on my Quilty Project Lineup!

First things first, the barter. I love the barter system!

I got this stunning new wreath…

in exchange for these 2 pillow shams and sweetheart pillow. It goes so well w/the other room decor.

I finished baby girl’s quilt. She should be making her debut any day now.

This Quilts Beyond Borders charity quilt has been sent off and my name has been put in the hat for a monthly drawing.

Even though my great niece’s b-day isn’t until the end of April, I couldn’t wait any longer to send this to her. Look at her smile!

Oh! AND baby boy’s quilt is already a flimsy! I really enjoyed working w/Tumblers. They go together so quickly!

Scrappy Trips progress isn’t looking too shabby either. I made 32 more strip sets.

AND…I turned 2 orphan blocks into placemats and made block #4 of the Build-A-Quilt by Quilting Is My Therapy.

I’ve been very productive!

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time. Stay healthy, Happy Stitchin’, and God Bless!

Finishes and Christmas Countdown Progress

Posted in Uncategorized by

In case you didn’t already know, there are 67 days until Christmas.  With that being said, I’m making great progress.

In this post, I mentioned all of the projects I’d like to get completed by/before Christmas.   I’ve already finished the 2 charity quilts, both of which I did FMQ on. They both measure 36″ x 36″.

I’ve already started quilting mom’s quilt.  Ever since I started making this One Block Wonder, well over a year ago, I planned to quilt it in orange. I’m using the color Pumpkin from Connecting Threads which is no longer available.

However, I’m not doing FMQ. I’m doing wavy lines which I’ve also seen called the Serpentine stitch. Mine is a lazy serpentine. You can see the quilting better from the back of the quilt. I really like it so far. I will do fmq/meandering in the borders.

 When mom’s is finished, which should be by the end of this week, I’ll get busy on my kid sis’ quilt. Then I’ll start knocking out the small quilted gifts, I’ve got 3 of 40 done so far.

Lastly, I’ll start quilting Diamonds and Purples. I’m making it a quilt w/o binding AND keeping all the points. I’m trying something I’ve never done before and I’m excited to see how it turns out. It might even turn into a tutorial.  Stay tuned!

I spent some time this weekend organizing my stash. I usually get overwhelmed trying to figure out where to sort/file the multicolored prints, but this time…I just did it! I didn’t touch the shelf on the right, but it has batiks, Christmas fabircs, pre-cuts and other miscellaneous stuff.

And since I was taking pics of my stash…I decided to straighten up the lab (that’s what I refer to my sewing room as) to share some pics.

I guess that’s all for now. I’ve got to get back to the lab.

Until next time, Happy Quilting and God Bless!

A Thread for Life

Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom

Lift Your eyes to heaven, There is freedom

Freedom reigns in this place, Showers of mercy and grace
Falling on every face, There is freedom

If You’re tired and thirsty, There is freedom
Give Your all to Jesus, There is freedom

Freedom reigns in this place, Showers of mercy and grace
Falling on every face, There is freedom

If your burden’s heavy, He brings freedom
If you’re hurt and broken, He brings freedom

Freedom reigns in this place, Showers of mercy and grace
Falling on every face, There is freedom

Great is Your faithfulness

Linking up all over the place!
