APPLIQUE DIARY: Where I stand in March

This month I did not spend as much time as I would like on my applique projects since I was bound and determined to finish my Christmas quilt (which got mailed last week). I did manage to eek out a little time for these fun projects in the past four weeks.

APPLIQUE DIARY: December Finishes!

This past month has found me working on a number of things including my applique projects. I am close to finishing my current projects. I thought I was going to be able to start my Christmas projects, but that is not realistic so I have made a new pull of possible new starts that I will share with you.

APPLIQUE DIARY: Summer Applique Projects are Back!

I thought since I finally setup my Bernina 880 again, I would give you an update on my Machine Applique projects that I have been working on this past year. When Alison went to the Sewing Machine doctor, I went on a hiatus. My 880 is my preferred machine for appliquing and I have dozens of different color bobbins already wound. Here we go!

CROSS STITCH DIARY: September Starts and Finishes

Finishes!!!!

Singing in the Rain Stitchalong with Flamingo Toes

Stitchalong with Beverly @ Flamingo Toes

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?

Quilt Diary: Outdoor Patio Tablecloth finish!

I wanted to share my tablecloth that I made for my daughter’s outdoor patio table.  I mentioned last time, I decided to put batting in because it was outside.  It is a double-sided tablecloth (or topper).  The above model’s name is Ozzie and he 100% approved the new table topper!  I will be linking this 3rd quarter finish up with Capitola Quilter for the 2019 Finish-a-long.  My original list can be found here.

Quilt Diary: Sunflower Finish and July OMG

This post will be quick today as I am only going to talk about what I have worked on in the past few days since my last post.  You add that the weekend is still in full swing and I have not done as much as a normal weekend (yet).  I also have been focusing on finishing my baby rag quilt to take to Halifax on Wednesday.  Here are a few progress pictures and I will post on that hopefully in the next day or two!
