Category: Finish It
I’m pretty happy with how this quilt top turned out. I got the borders on yesterday and now it’s ready to be quilted. It is a very good feeling to finish up so many projects lately. While I was working on them, I know I enjoyed myself, and as always, had fun picking out the […]
Another WIP finished and put to rest. In my head, I’ve been calling this quilt “The Bow Quilt” because of the pieced “bow” in the top border. I am not sure if the quilt has a proper name other than “Erica Arndt’s 2025 Sew With Me” project. I’ve been on a roll this week, getting […]
I think I mentioned that I had a few (ahem, a lot) of UFOs in my closets. Well, the cleaners are coming this morning, so yesterday I got out the step stool, climbed up, and got all the UFO project boxes down off the shelves in the guest room to have a look. I need […]
One more WIP nearly checked off my list. I got the Cali & Co blocks together, all but borders. I have a white 1 1/2 inch narrow containment border to attach, and then an outer border. I believe I will have to order some fabric for the outer border. But for now, this counts as […]
I finally got Halloween Figs off the design wall. This quilt is not finished, not by a long shot. There are three borders to put on it, one of them elaborately (of course) pieced. I just need to put HF down for a nap for a few months. I will revisit this top in the […]
Well, I have been talking a lot about getting WIPs and UFOs organized and prioritized. I’ve made my lists and now it is time for me to walk the walk and actually get some of these projects finished and out of my project bins and off the design wall. I spent some time over the […]
Yesterday we discussed WIPs (works in progress), and today we are going to take a look at UFOs (unfinished objects). What is the difference between the two things? Well, a WIP is a project you are currently working on or have set aside when something new took your attention away from it. It has not […]
At the start of the new year, I’ve decided my main priority is to get organized in a few areas of my life. Like many of my fellow quilters, things sometimes get out of hand, and I have no idea where I stand in terms of WIPs (works in progress), UFOs (unfinished objects), and future […]
I promised to show you my completed fall projects today, and I have failed to do that completely. I fully intended to finish sewing the rows together for the Spooks and Spells quilt that you see on the right in the photo above, but that didn’t happen. Sara and I did a book review podcast […]
Yay me, I managed to finish the Autumn Nights table topper from Fat Quarter Shop. I changed up the borders a bit after seeing a photo someone posted on the Facebook site. I liked the addition of the narrow orange containment border and thought the taupe outer border was a bit boring. The orange print […]
