The 100-day Hustle - finale!



The 100 days are over already. Can I cross everything off my list? Of course not! But of course, I did disgress from my list too... So here is a recap of the last 3 months against my list.



1. Finish Maisy quilt - top pieced, need quilting and binding - Ready for the quilting frame when I can get it out again
2. Owl door stoppers for Christmas presents - none done
3. Finish Christmas table topper - background cut, no more progress
4. Re start Farmer's Wife quilt (30 blocks) - new background fabrics so back to square 1! - not restarted yet

5. Make tote bag for the Mouthy Stitches swap - Finished in time


6. Make an item for the Modern She Made swap - cushion finished in time

7. Finish my basket for the Table Topper Swap - 5 done

8. Finish my blocks for the Christmas in July-a-Thon from Free Spirit - 4 blocks completed - no progress :-(

9. Catch up on my Rainbow Circle of Geese blocks - purple, blue, orange missing + next 3 months - no progress :-(

10. Bag for ballet classes - done!

11. Life is beautiful stitcheries - 3 blocks - no progress :-(

12. Spinning star sew-along - cushion covers for Christmas presents - replaced by twisted pillow

13. Christmas ornament for the London Modern Quilting Guild swap - birdie done!

14. Modern Mini Round Robin - no progress since top has returned to me :-(

15. Halloween See Saw -finished!
16. Advent calendar - UFO started 2 years ago, need to be finished - no progress :-(

17. Log Cabin cushion - UFO - finished!

18. Peg bags x 2 - All done!


19. Cushion for X-Factor pillow swap - deadline expired will try for next swap in 2013

20. Hoop for Hoop-la-la swap - finished
21. Holiday Pillow for the blog hop - finished as a wall hanging

22. Mug Rug for swap - finished
23. Blocks for 4x5 Modern Mini Bee - all done but mine which needs to be redone!

24. Travel bag - not started

25. Bee Weave blocks for swap and for myself - 2 out of 8 done

I have made progress or finished 14 of 25 listed above, not bad when our house has been a mess and my sewing room has been packed away with all the building work going on. Plus I know I am never really realistic in my expectations. And I have of course worked on some other side projects.... But I am glad I have achieved quite a bit of my 100 day hustle list. This was a great challenge to keep me on track. Thanks Kelly for organising it. I am linking to Kelly's blog for the finale!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
