WIP Wednesday


I don't seem to have anything finished this week, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do another WIP Wednesday. My current list....


And a few of the highlights...

This is Block 3 of the Lucky Stars paper piecing BOM.


And my first 3 blocks together. I'm so enjoying this monthly commitment!


I started piecing a new quilt. Since the baby quilt is done, I thought Mama might want a quilt too. I'm doing a variation of "Candy Necklace" which just happens to be Lee's pattern in the new Martingale book, Modern Quilts From the Blogging Universe. I'm making it a lap size, adding a little negative space and changing the colors a bit. I'm excited to see it come together.


I'm really focused on finishing a backlog of quilt tops. My Notting Hill Trip Around the World is currently under the needle!


Quilting on this Sunburst was completed last week and I'm just stitching down the binding. Our guild is having a handwork get-together tomorrow and I hope to get this one finished!


And I had to share this with you. If you saw my last post, you know my granddaughters were here last week. The 5 year-old has quite a creative flair. During some quiet time in her room, she made this outfit for the Teddy Bear. She said it took a few tries to get the sleeves right, but I was pretty impressed by the results!!


She claims she's going to be a fabric designer when she grows up. Looking like a star already!

pillow love!

My English Paper Pieced pillow is done - quilted and stuffed!


I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The inspiration came from here and all the paper supplies are available here.


Pretty sweet looking sitting on the sofa!  . . . Cindy

Projects this week...

I'm a little travel weary and nursing a cold after a two week visit with the princesses.


So I pulled out a UFO that requires little thought and simple straight sewing ~ my foundation pieced String Quilt. It's moving along. I even got 4 rows sewed together! I love that there's no rearranging the blocks with this one. Everything is completely pre-planned!


Playing with fabric doesn't require too much energy. Next month is my turn in the Redbird Bee and I've got a block and a color scheme ready ~ aqua, melon, gold and soft brown. Kinda Fallish, don't you think?


And some progress on this slow-moving project. EPP stars that will soon become a pillow ~ only a few more to go!


Quiet, restful is sometimes productive :) . . . Cindy

Heat Wave Sewing

With temps in the 100's, staying in air-conditioning and sewing seem to be the perfect activities. To keep from getting bored, I'm going with a variety of sewing projects. Some hand-work involving English Paper Piecing...


Some simple machine quilting...


And some easy piecing...


Hope you're staying cool and enjoying some indoor sewing time! . . . Cindy
