Finish Along Q1

Quarter 1 is over already, time to check how many finishes I can cross of my list from January and how many I will yet again, push to next quarter(s).


1. Work bag for myself - started years ago but stopped because of a zip fear! - this one is on my list since the beginning of the year so I am really hoping I'll eventually pick it up and finish it...  - no progress

2. Bag for Maud -started 5 years ago... - no progress

3. Star Plus quilt - top ready for quilting - no progress

4. Cat bag as a Christmas present similar to the one I made 2 years ago - no progress

5. Triangle Quilt take #2  - all the triangles are cut - no progress

6. My Auntie's purple quilt - UFO from 5 years ago - - no progress

7. Spools and bobbins - to be finished promptly so I can gift it to my Grand-Mum for her 90th birthday - no progress

8. Finish my Little Forest with quilting and binding - Finished and on our bedroom wall

9. Make myself a skirt with the Skirt Sew Along - no progress

10. Mr Snowmen cushion - all the blocks are pieced - no progress

11. UK mini swap -  - no progress
12. Liberty of London swap - finished on time

13. Frozen dresses for the girls - both finished


14. Valentine's swap - 25 cards done 

15. Custom cushions x 2 - no progress

16. Downton swap - finished on time

17. Mr Cars new quilt - all blocks done - I have planned the design and started sashing the blocks

18. Miss Baby quilt -no progress

19. Miss Strawberry Shortcake quilt - 2 block so far

20. Mod Mod Along - no progress

Only 5 crossed off my list out of 20, that doesn't look very good I guess, Some were very challenging (like the Frozen dresses) and I am glad they are finished, and there were other finishes which were not on this original list like more swaps (Kawaii, Easter open wide pouch for examples), some pillow cases for the kids and a lot of birthday parties to prepare, organise and bake for. A new job to get used to (including returning to full time 5 days a week work rather than part-time 4 days a week) since January as well to add to the equation so I guess it has been quite a busy quarter really. Time to plan for the next one which will, I hope, will bring renewed energy with the arrival of Spring.

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.
