My current project is trying to figure out what my next project will be. I walk into my sewing room and get kind of overwhelmed but it has to be a stash busting project. I may tackle a mini project.

Hand made Christmas ornaments- I never get tired of making yo-yo ornaments. I decorate them up with beads,(center and dangling) and add stiffening and sparkle to them with Sparkle Mod Podge for fabrics.I have 15 grands and want to make each one of them a "keepsake" ornament for Christmas this year.

I've just finished two baby D9P quilts (needed next month) and the last of 3 advent calendars.

Just started stitching together a wedding signature friendship braid wallhanging (2 months late but won't take long).

I'm 2 months behind on my Craftsy BOM, and I've a wee OBW top that just needs its border finalised.

I also need to quilt my recent train-ride mystery top.......

Busy, busy, busy.... lol

I am just finishing up a log cabin quilt from the Judy Martin book-quite a different pattern. Also trying to get binding finished on DGD quilt made for Christmas present. Had to put those two projects on back burner so I could get a Glinda and Dorothy of Wizard of Oz costumes made for Halloween. Whew---I am tired just writing about it! LOL

I am sewing the lining for two totes for my sister in laws and then want to make a table runner for my sis. Many quilt UFos but I don't really have time to quilt them right now. Love the sense of accomplishment from doing smaller projects

making patchwork Christmas stockings....have lots of Christmas fabric I want to use up...big laugh...if I live to 150 I will never use it all....I am 79...

I just finished color tinting and am starting the hand embroidery on the new crabapple hill design "Salem Witches Guild"..it is so cute. Last week made quilted curling iron covers (used the silver ironing board fabric for the inside)...really nice when you travel. I saw them on pinterest and will give them to all the "girls" in the family for Christmas. Last night made Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer pillow cases for my niece's 3 year old twins. Today I will sandwich a Christmas themed string quilt and tomorrow finish up block 2 of newest Primitive Gathering block of the month (wool applique) while watching the Green Bay Packers Win��

This last week, I foolishly started another quilt: Converging Corners. I have about six quilts in the almost finished stages. Some need only a few hours to completion, but when I see something cute, I have to make at least a block of it. Converging Corners doesn't work until you have at least 4 blocks done; I have 13 started, 2 done! That's another quilt!

I am almost finished with the top of a quilt I am doing for my DGS who is 12 and loves to fish. It is called"Up a Lazy River" by Carolyn Griffin. Wwwfarflungquilts.com

Working on 2 Christmas tree skirts, next challenge is to make picket fence blocks for a tulip quilt top I have sewn together, then want to work on making a quilt from the Night Before Christmas book panel. If anyone has a quick and easy picket fence block idea, let me know. Oh and I carved some pumpkins this year after having cataract surgery on both eyes.

Just starting the hand quilting of Vintage Tin by Crabapple Hill Studios. http://www.crabapplehillstudio.com/vintage-tin.html for Tim, my cousin. i changed a few things to make it personal, like the map from VA. Can't wait to give it to him. He is a special cousin in my life. You can still see the marks where I tried to figure out how to make a map, that was reasonable to embroider.

I made 5 queen sized quilts for Christmas. One is completed, four need binding - all need labels. I know what I will be doing for the next 6 weeks! And I want to make a pillow cover and maybe a table topper for gifts. Fun!

Trying to catch up on Christmas quilts and stockings, now that wedding and baby quilts finishede.

I have just sent for the 9 degree wedge ruler so i can try the Spicy Spiral Table runner.I have finished10 quilts,40 placemats and numerous pillow cases...My youngest daughter visited me ,was so wonderful to have her here that i gave her her quilt....now must think of something else for her...lol

I guess my next "current project" will be Bonnie Hunter's mystery. Other than that, I'm working on a quilt for my granddaughter, a scrappy string quilt, a crumb quilt, and a Scrappy Trip quilt. Never could stick with just one. I switch around depending on my mood. LOL

Heaven help me, but I have three projects in the works. Our church group is making a twin size, I'm making a queen sized Big Star, a la Missouri Star Co., and a queen sized vintage airplane quilt for a grandson. Two of them will be hand quilted. Oh, dear.

I am working on 3 quilts at the same time. I know I should work on one at a time but I need to get them completed soon. Took a class on the Costa Maya quilt a few weeks ago. I have the major portion finished and am working on the border sections. Probably about 5 hrs worth once I get going. My soon to be daughter-in-law's parents are coming from Scotland in January to visit (first grandchild, a girl, on both sides expected any day). I am working on a tumbler quilt using scrappy plaids. 8 rows done, another 10 to go. Will post when it's done. And 2 years ago I was given a box of t-shirts from a friend who has survived breast cancer. She is a longarmer and agreed to quilt my king size quilt in exchange for a quilt made from all of her t-shirts. Got them all cut and fused and have added some connector blocks but need to get it finished so I can get mine done. When I finish those 3 I will be very happy to move on with the umpteen others that are also a priority. They say idle hands are the devil's playthings. No devil hanging around me!

I just finished this for Rhondas' Wall hanging swap. it will be mailed out this week. we get the swap names tonight! I'm excited.
peace

I have several in the works. I have to finish the label on one quilt, need to start to finish several WIPs, and several BOMs that I haven't even started as well as some projects for QOV (luckily don't need to be ready to Jan) and some projects for another group.

I am using the motivation of a UFO challenge from one of the guilds I belong to.

quilting the border of a nautical quilt, appliqueing the border corners of a Baltimore quilt, and I just started a small quilt for my daughter's new office. I simply cannot just concentrate on one quilt, I find I work faster when I have 2 or 3 projects going.

I am working on donations quilts for veterans.

Well I am all most finished with my first block for a Seven Sisters quilt. I am doing English PP using diamonds and hexagons then I drew and cut my own papers for the weird rectangle piece. I am using flower prints from the 70's and 80's the kind of fabrics I used to sew dresses for my daughters. This is my first PP quilt so should be a fun and learning experience.

I'm working on a stained glass denim quilt made of colourful jeans purchased at the thrift store. I have 3 laundry baskets full of old/used jeans in various colours and patterns, and the one I'm working on right now will have all the colours of the rainbow in a diagonal pattern, for my LGBT child.

Denim quilt with embroidery--trying various patches and patterns to see what works. "Chair time" project is PTOC. Made some of these last winter and didn't like the large lozenges I drafted. Those ufo blocks are being appliquéd on sewing machine covers. The inch size are more fun.

I know I have made many many quilts for others, and I have always wanted a Christmas Snowman quilt for myself, so I am starting on that this weekend.

Right now I'm juggling between 3 projects .... 1) finishing the blocks of a BOM I started earlier in the year, 2) a Pam Buda sew-along and 3) hand quilting my hubby's quilt.

I am working on a vintage tractor quilt for the husband of a dear friend. It will be full sized when I'm done. The blocks are only six inches, so to make it more interesting, I'm piecing some six inch alternate blocks to make the squares go further. I've finished 12 of the alternate blocks already.

A fleece robe:(

Finished a Halloween lap quilt just in time!!! Ready to sandwich a Christmas quilt next.

I'm working on a pair of 25" Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls for our newest DGD who will be almost 3 mo. at Christmas. They have always been a favorite of her mom, so as soon as Penelope was born I went searching for a pattern. McCalls has a new one just released as it is the 100th anniversary of RA, but I went to Ebay and got a 1970 version I liked better. It's going great as I found an embroidery CD for the face and heart and some vintage looking calico at Hobby Lobby.

Also working on finishing a few projects for Sadie's Dream for a Cure. I finished the two tote bags but with an excellent idea posted by sewbizgirl How cute is this panel?
I bought three play mats with Matchbox cars, and a panel by Riley Blake called A Dream and a Wish (fabric paper dolls in a castle fold out tote). Play mats are done, but still working on the dolls. I will post a picture when I am done.

I have an attic windows wall hanging, a few toddler quilts for great nieces and nephews and am machine quilting a 10 minute block quilt.

Processing a mountain of scraps given to me. I am so lucky. Love fondling each and every one. It's a good thing I like scrappy quilts!

My current project is making two princess quilts using the pattern: Happily Ever After from the Ribbon Candy Quilt Company. So far I have the background blocks cut, the appliques traced on fusible. I usually like to sew my appliques by hand, but thought fusible would help me get through to the end faster. They are going to be Christmas gifts, but knowing me, they may not be done by them. But, they are a complete surprise to the two little girls getting them, so it doesn't matter if they are finished after Christmas. My other part of my to do list: finish my UFOs, and make the quilt sandwiches and finish them, especially the small projects and get those out of the way.

Until the end of the year I'm trying to get the tops I've already made quilted, bound and given to the recipents. Have 3 larger than life quilt tops, 1 over sized lap, 1 small auction quilt for a neighbor, 1 full size auction quilt top and last by not least 1 wall hanging (my 1st) to finish by year's end. Then I can start working on my next year's projects one to include Jacqueline de Jonge's Beauties of Joy. Ordered most all the fabrics online but 5 of 24 are out of stock or backordered. Sure glad I ordered early now.

Quilting a quilt done in pastels for my DGD, just finished pieceing a modern queen size top for my DD andDSIL and gettingf ready to quilt a baby quilt just to keep on hand.

Now that I have one quilt at the hand quilting stage, that I will work on tonight, I just pulled out my Tall Trim The Tree from A Very Special Collection. http://www.averyspecialcollection.co...bits/_v306.htm I have never done foundation piecing before but I shall try!! LOL We have no one coming for Christmas this year, we will be gong to visit the kids so we didn't want to drag out the big tree. So we shall have this one hopefully. With buttons, we can even "trim the tree" with our extra special ornaments. Then at the send of the Season, roll it up til next year!! It's 76 3/4" tall - just over 6 foot so it can be hung as high as you want it to be!! And still put presents under it in a semi-circle.!

Just finished a table runner using the Triangle Frenzy Swirl pattern (uses the 60 degree triangle. My next project is a twin size quilt for my grandson, using a panel print of construction equipment as the centre. Looking for ideas to be more creative with this one. I also have "gravel" printed fabric for borders/sashing, and a separate smaller print for the backing. I was going to add borders until the quilt is the size I want it to be, but is there a more unique way of dealing with panels? Would love anyone's input! Thx in advance!

Which one??!! :D Hand quilting the Fancy Dishes Dresden. (to work on while I'm watching Seahawks games) Piecing a Double Disappearing 9-Patch crib quilt. Bargello to sandwich, quilt and finish (SS pay day on Tues for the batting and backing). And stuff like that!!!

Yes! PP is so fun! Try this freezer paper method:
