Category: Finish It
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 […]
Remember this? It is the Riley Blake Design Challenge 2025, the sew-along I was not going to participate in. That being declared, I did make most of the blocks. I went at my own pace, and substituted a block here and there when I didn't care for the monthly offering. The Riley Blake Designer challenges […]
I made a few more blocks for the Designer Mystery 2024 quilt. I may eliminate that block on the lower left. I think it's too red, and also the house pattern is placed weirdly. I like the block however, and may re-do it with aqua as the center color and just a touch of red […]
