Category: Finish It

Um.  Right.  Yeah, I know.  What were my last words here on this blog?  Nantucket.  I will focus on and finish Nantucket. But then, I was out in my garage storage area, where my project boxes are kept.  I was looking for my Christmas wrapping paper when out of the corner of my eye, I […]

I am sighing a big sigh of relief to have gotten three quilts finished this past weekend.  These are going to be wonderful additions to my quilt collection, and I have no excuse for dragging things out so long.  Get them done, get them quilted, and get them on the beds! The quilt in the […]

I had three big finishes this weekend.  I will share one today, and the other two tomorrow. For some reason, I stall when it comes to getting the borders on my quilts.  I have a big push to get my blocks sewn together, and then completely lose steam (and interest) in seeing things through to […]

My intention was to get this finished for Sara and give it to her for her birthday Sunday, but as you can plainly see, I failed to accomplish that goal. Several things went wrong.  Mainly, I discovered that I had made seven of the blocks with a pure white fabric.  The other thirteen blocks appear […]

My student is on Spring Break this week, and has been getting in as much sewing time as she can.  She has now finished her third and final charity quilt top for her senior project.  I am just so proud of her.  These fabrics were donated to us, and I am happy to say we […]

Long Road Home is off my design wall!  All the rows are stitched together and I am so happy to be able to call this a Finish.  I really do like the homey look of the fabrics.  This will be a great quilt to throw over a chair and to cuddle up under. I tried […]

My friend Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) is a very focused person.  I love how organized she is, and how she mostly limits herself to working on one project at a time.  She also often gives me pause to think on things in myself I would like to improve.  Make that things in myself I would […]

I don't have a whole lot to show for myself for all the free days I have had this past weekend.  As you see, about half my Message in a Bottle rows are sewn together.  A more tedious process than  making the blocks, so I have slowed down.  Work on Long Road Home has commenced, […]

Yes, finished at last.  I had a little hiccup in the final moments of this quilt when I discovered the fabric I had planned to use for the outer border had faded.  I found something else that works well, but had to order it online.  Then I went on vacation.  I cannot wait for this […]
