Category: Finish It
I had a list going of various UFOs I wanted to revisit and finish up. Halloween Figs had all the blocks finished and sewn together, but then I put the project away because all those borders seemed like a lot. Well, I bit the bullet and dived in and started putting on all those borders. […]
Well, I don’t have ten things to show you today, but I did finish my Bliss Quilt top! That pieced border took longer than I thought, plus I had to piece a backing for the top. I have decided to use up the fabric I have sitting around, which is a lot, and found a […]
In other news, I just got this quilt back from my quilter! It is Sewcialites 2, a sew-along sponsored by Fat Quarter Shop a couple of years ago. It was fun to make, with various designers contributing quilt block patterns each week. I loved everything about the sew-along, except for the setting. So I came […]
Another one bites the dustAnother one bites the dustAnd another one gone, and another one goneAnother one bites the dust One of my favorite old songs by Queen is on my lips today. Can you guess why? Because I finished my Applesauce quilt! Cute as it is, I can’t say I am a fan of […]
I had a serious talk with myself this past weekend. I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the number of projects I have going on, the number of unfinished projects that I have set aside, and the number of quilts piling up that need to be quilted. I feel that I am being irresponsible by starting […]
I put the pedal to the metal and got busy with my Bliss project. I want to finish this up and get on to another project. I am having fun making Swoon blocks, and plan to focus on that next. Bliss has turned out very nicely, I think. I love the red center blocks and […]
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 […]
