Finish Along: Quarter 2

I think you might all laugh at me.... but here's the plan - some things I have to finish, others that are so close to finished that it would be silly to leave them, and then things that I want to finish but which seem unlikely. So, in no particular order, here we go!

Daniela's Quilt: Fourth time lucky for this quilt. It has already been on my list last year in Q3 and Q4 and in Q1 this year. Q2 2013 is the quarter and this quilt WILL be finished. It is pieced, and basted and ready to quilt - the machine is set up and as soon as this is posted, I'm making a start - 13,000 square inches of quilting! Of course, if it doesn't fit in my machine I may have more of an issue :)

Steph's Quilt: Fourth time lucky for this one too. It's also pieced and basted and ready for quilting, and is second in the pile underneath Daniela's quilt!

Debs's Quilt: This is the quilt I introduced you to yesterday. I don't have the background fabric yet, but the whole thing needs to be finished by 28th June. Non-negotiable. 

Modern She Made Swap: the deadline for this is coming up fast and I need to decide on the layout and how I want to quilt it. But I have decided that it will be a cushion.

Anna's Place mats: Anna and Tom got married in mid March, so I really should get this set of four place mats finished.

Stepping Stones Baby Quilt: this one is pieced, and the backing and batting and binding are all bought. Just need to get it all together. 

Ellie-Jo's Quilt: this is another pieced top with backing and batting purchased, but I haven't bought the binding yet.

Bubbles Baby Quilt: There's still quite a bit of work to do on this one - I need to hem all the circles and applique, before I can even contemplate the quilting.

Strings and Things: Hexies and strings. Blue and pink. I would like to have a finished quilt top by the end of May as part of the Scrap Attack: String Fever. Wouldn't be good to finish it too?

Rhubarb and Custard: I'm so close on this one after so long... still sashing

Three Peaks: Pieced. Batting, backing and binding bought.

Neon Stained: this has been around a while too, but it is now fully basted and ready to quilt - number three in the pile, but I haven't really decided how to quilt it yet.

Hexie Table Runner: I made real progress on this in the last quarter, and it's also ready for quilting. But I'm thinking of hand quilting it, so this may have to roll over to next quarter, but I'm being positive, so here it is.

Rock and Romance: I think it's unlikely that I will finish it, but it's here because of the effect that having Steph's and Daniela's quilt on the list. If I move this quilt along, I will be happy.

Poetica Wedding Ring: I love this quilt. The colours are beautiful and I'm working on it regularly in classes at our Local Quilt Shop. I may well have a finished quilt top by the end of the quarter, it may even be quilted. But I have a feeling the binding will be a challenge.

I've just counted - that's 15 projects. In addition to these, and not eligible for the Finish Along, I also want to stay up to date on all of the BOMs I'm following along with. Wish me luck!

Hidden Agenda [A Finish]

This is very possibly my favourite ever finish - I know I've said that in the past, but this one is going to be hard to beat. This time last year, I attended a day long lecture/workshop with Tula Pink and it was inspiring. Having not really loved her fabrics in the past (but loved her patterns), I suddenly saw them in a new light, linked with my 2018 new year's resolution to try more fussy cutting). Fast forward 8 months and I confess that my Tula stash has expanded quite a lot. I found some UK shops with older ranges of fabric, splurged on a few destashes and found the odd piece of her fabric already in my stash. The plan was always (and remains) to make a Smitten quilt, but I'm well aware that I have plenty of fabric to make other projects as well! So when I saw the Hidden Agenda quilt pattern by Angela Pingle, this fabric sprung instantly to mind.... and we all know I love a rainbow! And what could be better than rainbowfied Tula? I was ably assisted by my friend Ti

365 Quilt Challenge 2016 [A finish]

I can't believe I've just typed that heading! When I made the block for January 1st 2016 I could not have imagined the journey this quilt would have taken me on. So make yourselves comfortable and grab a cup of tea, because this blog post may get lengthy! I'd seen the 365 Quilt Challenge on Facebook. I think every quilter on Facebook must have been aware of it. Loads of my friends had signed up and it kept popping up as a "Page you might like" thing. In the end, in November 2015, I joined the group, had a poke round. Decided it wasn't for me. One of the things that really put me off were the fabric requirements: you needed x amount of dark dark fabric, x amount of medium dark fabric, x amount of dark medium, medium, light medium, light, background.... I just couldn't get my head round those requirements. I'd looked at the mock ups on the wesbite and couldn't bring myself to pick a colour. I put it to the back of my mind. But I had obvious

All the Little Finishes

 I've had a few recent finishes - mostly smaller pieces and mostly not on my list to finish this year (because I've only just started them!) - lots and lots of pouches! Here's a round up... Three pouches I made for the kids for our holiday - all are the Seamingly Sane Pouch pattern, but I used the pattern add-on to adjust the sizes and customised with some straps and in one case, a pocket. These three pouches are made for our work Yubikeys when we travel to protect them - it's a slightly adjusted Aneela Hooey pattern - the peas are an inside joke! I knew I had pea fabric for a reason! A couple more Seamingly Sane pouches - the smaller one was a birthday present for my Dad, and the floral one was for me to protect my diary when I travel. Seven pouches made entirely from my scraps to hold EPP pieces pre sewing! This is the Peekapouch pattern by Sweet Cinnamon Roses. This is the Not So Little Zippy Pouch by Fabric and Flowers. The pattern is a bit of a challenge, but this
