Holidays were full of family, friends, celebrations, and hockey. As for most of you, there was not a lot of time to sew in the past two weeks. I am sure no one is surprised. Just got home tonight from a hockey weekend in Anaheim. I really thought I would have plenty of time to write my blog and get started on some of my new projects. (lol – such an optimist). Where to start? Continue reading “Quilt Diary: New Year’s Resolutions-Self Care”

Quilt Diary: Schoolhouse Mug Rug Finish
Coming to you from Starbucks Reserve in Cupertino at 6am. Yes – hockey. It’s been a busy week. I would love to say all the busy was quilting but my day job and my night job keep getting in the way. LOL! Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Schoolhouse Mug Rug Finish”
Quilt Diary: A Year In Words-Autumn Finish for Quarter 3 FAL 2019
Woohoo! Finally wrapped up this project that has been in my sewing room for over a year. It felt good to hang it on the wall yesterday. I absolutely love the hanger I purchased from Ackfeld Manufacturing a month ago. I did not realized that the leaves were colored until I took it out of the package. So nice! My larger series, I usually buy one hanger for the series. I haven’t decided if I will continue using this hanger for the whole series. I originally bought the WELCOME hanger for this series but decided it was too many words. We shall see. For now, I am very pleased at the end result! Here are a few more photos of the final process this week.

Quilt Diary: Sunflower Wooly Mug Rug Finish-Better late than never
This week found me wrapping up the sunflower wooly mug rugs which I have been working on for weeks! It feels good to finish them up but I find myself behind with my schoolhouse wooly mug rug. I am linking up the Sunflower Wooly Mug Rugs with Capitola Quilter for another third quarter finish in October. Hard to believe this is my 6th finish for the quarter. See the original list here.

So August is up and I am total prepared for September and October.

Quilt Diary: Another Finish! – Jack ‘O Lantern A-door-nament Wall Hanging
You may have recalled at the end of second quarter finishalong that I was close to many finishes but only one finish. Because of all that progress last quarter, it is the catalyst for all the finishes this quarter. Hmmm. Something to keep in mind when I get down on myself for not finishing anything, right? Continue reading “Quilt Diary: Another Finish! – Jack ‘O Lantern A-door-nament Wall Hanging”
Quilt Diary: Rag Baby Quilt & Burp Clothes Finish
Well that totally sucked! I was almost done with my post and it disappeared. Can I write it again as good as I did the first time. Good question. I am at Chicago O’Hare airport waiting for my rescheduled flight to Halifax. Boston is storming and they have cancelled flights in and out. I was the lucky one, I did it when I realized my connection was cancelled. Currently the plan has me still arriving in the same day! Yippee!

Quilt Diary: May Easy Pieced Table Runner Finish!!!
This is my second finish for this quarter which puts me ahead of last quarter already (lol!). I am excited to have finished this table runner. This series has it all for someone like me who is a wee bit ADD. I like to work on multiple things and get bored easily. There is piecing, applique, embroidery, and quilting. There was the planning of the colors because I choose not to purchase the kit that is offered (but the pattern is free!) When I redid my kitchen, my main decorating color has been teal. I am not saying other things won’t look great, but I really didn’t have any nice table runners, place-mats or anything. Since I am going to do them, I want things to go more with the chosen gray and teal decor. This was my second such project. (See Christmas set here.) Out of my Quilty Box was this gorgeous fat quarters that I thought was perfect. This fabric line (Moda Walkabout) has been fun with the the stripes.

Sadly, the only project I finished second quarter was my Strawberry mug rugs in May. I just can’t seem to be disappointed with all the progress I did make on my projects. They just didn’t get finished. I didn’t even finish my June One Monthly Goal with Elm Street. But oh the progress I have made! I think Quarter 3 will be a big quarter for finishes.
