Category: Finish It
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 […]
I am so happy to have finally finished the Moonlight quilt from Susan Ache’s Halloween Memories book. This project was started the summer of 2024, and I was making great progress with it until my husband became ill. I packed it away and finally was able to get back to it this summer and get […]
Remember these fabulous blocks from last year? The fabric is Hey Boo by Lella Boutique and the pattern is Moonlight from the Halloween Memories book by Susan Ache. I was working on it last summer when Dennis got ill and my world unraveled. I was super organized with the block preparation, so it didn't take […]
Well, I did it. Strawberry Garden is now finished, thank heavens. This quilt was a lot. So many pieces, scads of blocks, and fussy piecing. It is a real accomplishment to have made it, but it was an effort! I think it will be a while before I dive into another mega Fig Tree project […]
Sometimes it only takes a simple question to cause a whole lot of action to take place. So, last week reader Carole commented on a post and asked a simple thing. "So how's all that binding coming along?" Uh. What? Binding? Well, I had to confess to Carole that it wasn't coming along in any […]
