Long time waiting....

This is my March finish.....

A few years ago I got sent some cobblestone blocks from a friend

I joined up the blocks and then used the panel to practice some free motion quilting

I have now made it all up into a bag

It is a perfect size and nice and strong to use when exchanging books at our library....

It is also the perfect size and nice and strong to hold 3 bottles of wine....

... as I had quilted it and used backing I didn't line but sewed up the sides with an overlocker... put in some eyelets and threaded cord through ....

Righto, Gotto Go..... still more UFO's in the cupboard... quiet on this blog... does it mean you have all finished yours???????

 

Perry's Place finish!

I started this way back.........far too long ago when my now 15 year old was in Kinder.

I think at the time I just got sick of doing the blanket stitch so it became stashed away.

You know how it goes out of sight out of mind.

But now finally completed, with binding, quilting, embroidery and buttons all done.

Have a lovely day.

Last Day Finish

I actually had this finished a couple of weeks ago, but had to wait to post it until after my day of the Uncommonly Corduroy Book Blog Hop.  Stephanie from Loft Creations had asked me to test a pattern for her upcoming book over a year ago.  The test did not include the quilting of the quilt itself so the top remained in the UFO pile.   With the Blog Hop approaching, I knew I wanted to show it finished…..sew….ta da…..  It was a great scrap bin project.

Two Small Finishes…

It has been a busy month for me sew only managed two small UFO finishes..





They are the start of my gifts for the Christmas Box.

Pincushion....

All this UFO needed was stuffing and sewing up the hole.... it took less than 10 minutes to do but has been sitting waiting for months to finish....

This blog really motivates me to look in my cupboard and find these little things and get them done... thanks Wendy for keeping us going... and thanks to all of you for the encouragement...

It's quite a big fat pincushion .....

Righto, Gotto Go.. there is a few more UFO's hanging around to be done....

February Finishes-Part 2

Hello there again.  I am sharing the finishes I have for the latter part of this month.  The first is another quilt that has been in the works for a couple of years.  I thought I would turn it into something special for my daughter, but she has decided she wants a different quilt that I just started, so this one is going in the trunk for later.

I also made a coordinating pillow for a blog hop that measures 10" X 10" and was made with paper-piecing.

February Finishes- Part 1

I have gotten behind sharing my finishes with this group.  The first one for February is one of those projects that I have been working on for a couple of years.  Its a lap Quilt called Time Warp that measures 50" X 55" and made with 30's reproduction fabrics.

The next two are table mats made for two different members of a birthday club I am a apart of this year.  They each measure 11.75" X 11.75" and are intended to reflect each of the persons.

I have a few more projects that I hope to complete by the end of the month.
