6th & 7th Finish

I managed to finish two more UFO's in April and made a good dent in another. This was mainly due to the starting of a weekly Friday night sewing group.  I had these finished last week but have not had time to post this b4 now.....

 

 These handtowels are the last that had been cut out and wanting to be finished since last October.  two of these are heading to my forum friend Shirley.  She made me a few dish towels and i was making her handtowels in return.

 

I have had this Authentic charm pack for many years and last year finally planned to make it into this tablerunner, using half triangle squares and sashing.  When I started to sew the 1/2 triangle squares into rows I realised I had enough to make two tablerunners.  The other tablerunner will be made in the near future as a gift or maybe even a swap.

 

 

And finally a sneak preview of a UFO that has been 7 years in the making, a Row X Row wall hanging.  I finally quilted it and am on the tail end of hand stitching the binding down.  I should have it finished in the next few days so stand by for the finished wall hanging........

A Binding Finish

This quilt was made a couple years ago at quilt camp, and quilted by friends shortly after!  For two Christmas seasons I have displayed it on a bench in my entry way, folded so no one could see the binding wasn't done...I'm so bad :-)!!!  I decided yesterday, time to get it done and report in with a finish for the month of April.  Thanks once again to Wendy and Dawn for keeping me motivated to finish up some things!  Happy May everyone.

Whoo has some finishes??

Whoo??

Why me of course.

These little fellows have been hanging out in my house since last year (or maybe even the year before that).

They were appliqued on but not sewn.

Well not any more.  Last night these 2 were sewn into pot holders

 

and now they can watch the goings on in the kitchen

 and let me know if something is burning.

 and these 3 were finished off this morning.

That big orange one looks like an 'angry bird' rather than an owl.

So that is 5 more finishes for April and 5 bits of 'stuff' out of the mess.  I think the orange ones will be going into my stall stock and I will decide about the red ones after the local show.

For Book Lovers

I believe this is my first finish for March. If that is right 

"WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING"

Apparently not sewing. 

Anyway here it is 

I am taking part in a blog hop using the Moda line of Nancy Drew. I purchased a charm pack and ended up making a book cover for one of Nancy Drew books.

I guess this is my 7th finish project for the year

YIPPEE!!!!

Batman to the Rescue

No 5.

Batman is one of my newer UFOs - started in July or August last year, for one of my Grandies.

Kai saw it sitting in my sewing room last week.  His comment - I like Batman.  So I think he will be pleased when I give it to him.

No 6
This was started last year also.  The paper pieced border was part of Fee's project from our Lets Get Stitched weekend in Tasmania.  At this link you can see the project she designed for us.  I used the idea of the frame to border the centre section of this table topper.

No 7.
Just a little finish.  I started this mug rug as a  gift for Christmas 2011, intending to put it with a green spot mug.  The green mugs had sold out, so I ended up with a different colour, and made another mug rug to match it.  I thought it was time to finish off this one, and have added it to my Birthday stash.
