I am finishing my Farm Girl Vintage quilt and have everything ready to start the Christmas Ribbons quilt that was recently posted on the Quilt Board. Gifts maybe next year!

I am working on a quilted bag made with 5 inch squares. I am doing a practice run first to see how it comes out.

Well I got those turkey fan curves done and waiting for Tuesday. It went a lot faster and easier than I thought, the ironing part especially was easier than I was prepared for. Today I went out and bought another piece of grey for the postcard/attic window blocks, really lighter than I wanted but I decided the pieces I already had didn't offer enough contrast. There was the perfect color in the poly blends but I just said no... The new grey is in the wash, I'll start cutting out the darker grey (which is really the previous "lighter" one) while it is going through the cycle. I've got no problems doing Y seams, I'll start by just sewing all the way through and then at small group I'll take out those last couple of stitches to give me my 1/4" opening for the Ys. First thing though is to double check my notes on how big to cut the grey pieces.

Hubby is home today instead of working overtime and watching college football. I don't have the multi-game endurance he does and so I'll join him for the Michigan game only -- go Wolverines! Next week is the big grudge match with Ohio State.

Today, I worked in the yard/vegetable garden. My body keeps reminding me.

I think I'm closer to making an art quilt. Tomorrow will tell.

I’m working on my 4P’s quilt which stands for Julie’s Paper Pieced & Patchwork Palooza quilt. ;) It’s consisting of all different 12” blocks, mostly paper pieced & all new blocks to me. It’s been a lot of fun & I’m learning a lot. I just finished block 20 of the 30 I plan to make tonight & started cutting the 21st.
I just finished the top of the 20th mystery train quilt here on this site & really like how it came out. That makes about 6 tops I have done now that need to get quilted. I had a longarm but was doing so badly physically I wasn’t using it & then financially I had to sell it because I needed the money. Now I have a “new to me” Bernina 440QE with a BSR that I need to learn to use to start FMQing now that I’m physically doing better.
I’ve also been making quilted ball ornaments that I started doing after signing up for the ornament swap here but now have been able to sell some locally & am making them for my family for Christmas gifts this year for the adults. I also have a panel to make into a wall hanging for my church for Christmas that I need to get going on too. I’ve got several UFO’s that need finishing that I just pulled out & started looking over, like a diaper bag that was supposed to be for my first grandson who’s now 4, but I have a 3 month old Grandson now that could use it. There’s also I purse I’ve started but I’m stuck on how to install the zipper so waiting for a sew day with friends for help on that, & I really need to make a Nessecary Clutch Wallet for myself as soon as I can. My daughter also was just given an old Singer 1950’s sewing machine & wants to learn to sew so we have plans for her to make a circle skirt. Busy busy busy is right! And I have 3 big plastic bins of fabrics along with patterns for already planned quilts, just need to finish the others before I jump into those. Oh wait, I forgot I have one quilt’s blocks all done but just need to add the sashing. There’s more I’m forgetting I know. I’m one that gets too excited & jumps into the next project before finishing all the last ones. It’s something I’m working on.

I've just finished a Minnie Mouse quilt for my granddaughter. A big Minnie print on the front, and crazy windows on the back (her choice).

Requested from a friend, I am now collecting bear patterns to make him a king sized windows quit.

I'm just a few hours away from finishing a throw quilt, so of course I've started something new! I wonder how many of us have to have multiple irons in the fire to stoke the creativity? I can *never* do just one thing at a time. Since it's practically December, of course my newest project is Christmas-y:

I need to come up w/a Christmas Gift for my Two SIL's...I'm thinking either makeup bags or Day Timer Quilted covers

I have three blankets/quilts I'm currently working on: My Smoking charms quilt (which is on hold while I try to move my youngest out of the house), knitting another hexagon blanket using the beekeeper quilt pattern. And just started a third hexagon, going to try this one in the traditional Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern-- with my own twist.

I'm not going to count how many other projects I have going on in my mind that are waiting for my youngest to move out to get started on.

petthefabric 11-29-2018 09:01 PM

I've been unallowing myself to start another project until I finish the one on the wall. Even so procrastination is winning.

I've done laundry, errands, dishes, cleaned the toilets, played computer games........

Progress, I sewing together a small section.

Now, back to computer.

I"m trying to make my husband a couple new pillowcases and a lap quilt for Christmas but he's been around WAY too much for me to get them done! Usually he works a couple days during the Thanksgiving weekend. This year when I need him to work so I can get some sewing for him done, he went in for a couple hours. Just enough for me to press the fabric and make 3 blocks. Then I heard his truck coming and everything when back in the bag and under the sewing table. I'm hoping next weekend he'll have to work!

I am putting together my turkey fan quilt. Sigh... I used to be able to do quilt math in my head like a brainiac, but for the life of me I've lost the ability... So the quilt came out a bit smaller than I was hoping. That's ok, it will be good enough. But then I have less border fabric than I need/want. That's ok too, I often buy fabric from thrift stores or it takes several years for me to get to whatever project I'm working on so I have to deal with this sort of thing often. I figured out not my ideal border, but a good one that still gives me enough for my sashing (same fabric). But figuring out the size of the setting triangles on my on-point design is giving me fits! Fortunately I have a lot of extra background fabric and I will be cutting big and then trimming down, it will all work out.

Sometimes we just have to keep on repeating (and believing!) that it will all work out ok in the end.

I’m working on a few gift projects, and feeling a bit pinched for time :-(. I’m starting 2019's in January :shock:!!!

rryder 12-02-2018 04:17 AM

I’m still working on scrap scarves as I need to replenish one of the galleries where I sell them. Then I need to do some potholders for xmas gifts and get a move on the t-shirt quilt and the whole cloth painted one so I can get my design wall back. Like Kwiltr, I think I’ll start 2019 gift making in January!!!

I finished all the gifts I wanted to make for Christmas and am working on the Bonnie Hunter mystery. I got out all my UFOs recently and am deciding which one I want to concentrate on. Maybe I'll finish one before 2019!
