Category: Finish It
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 […]
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 […]
