Finish Along Q3: Plans

Another quarter means another overly-long and highly-ambitious Finish Along List...

I've left it to the last minute to write this list, so apologies for the lack of photos!

1. Long Time Gone: this quilt is the result of Gnome Angel's latest quilt along, and it's so nearly finished! I just need to add the binding.


2. Foxy Quilt - all of the blocks are pieced and next I need to cut the sashing.

3.Baby Stars quilt: we'll be meeting the little lady later this month, so need to get this finished.



4. Another owl quilt for another baby. I ordered the backing and I'm taking my colour scheme from that.

5. Mixed Up City is yet another version of the Tula Pink City Sampler and has to be finished before the end of July.


6. Snail day quilt. All of the snails Mia and I have been making will be a picnic blanket for out holiday - so that's an end of July deadline for this quilt too!



7. and 8. I'm going to use the Garland City blocks to make 2 quilts for the girls to use at Christmas.

9. Fussy Cut Sampler quilt


10. Disney quilt, made from fabrics I picked up in a recent Instagram destash - this is Mia's reward for potty training. She's not quite there yet, so I have a little time!

11. and 12: Fancy Forest baby quilts: two of them. I have 5m of a beautiful grey background fabric - one will be for a boy and the other.... we'll just have to wait and see. Below is the one I've already made...



13. Summer Sampler 2016: a few more blocks to go but I already have the backing fabric...

14: Summer Sampler 2017: unlikely.



15: Christmas Tree quilt: these were the blocks that pushed me over 1000 blocks last year. Now they need to become a quilt.

16. Mia's dress: I've bought unicorn jersey fabric and I have a pattern!

17: ABC embroidery, which I started over a year ago....

18. Mermaid doll - it's been on here before.

19. Little Red Riding Hood doll. Ditto.

20. Moccasin Dresden: it's silly that this is still on the list and I haven't just finished it already...

21. Watermelon quilt. Another repeat offender.

22. My original City Sampler. Still half quilted.

23. Neon city: the City Sampler I made last year. Half sashed.

24. Vicky and Karl's City Sampler. I'm not looking forward to piecing this... I hate sashing.

25. Grenfell quilt: I'm using the next set of blocks from the Quilters Planner to make a quilt for the victims of Grenfell and I really don't want to let this one fall off the bottom of the list. Sadly that I know that if I don't hit the deadline for Grenfell, there will be other disasters that need our quilty love...

26. EJ+ quilt. This has no deadline, so hasn't been touched in a while...

27. Fireworks. I'd love to get this done for the end of September....

28. Threadfolk embroidery which I started this week. I don't want it to become an untouched UFO like the ABC embroidery above...


29. Travel pouch for Steph. If it doesn't get done this quarter I'm in trouble.

30. #1yearofstitches  hoop. Because I'm nearly done with it.





31. Zippy Pouch using some Alison Glass for the NEMQG swap in October.

32. A foxy cushion which will be a wedding quilt. I'm hoping there will be enough background left from the Fancy Forest quilts for this foundation pieced geometric number.

33. Baby forest quilt, using some panels and complimentary fabric. It's a kit that's been knocking around for a while and now I have a reason to do it.

34. Pineapple cushion

I think I'll leave it at that. Question is, do I have the longest list, or has Helen @Archiewonderdog beaten me again!!!?

I've beaten you! *crows* *realises it's not ladylike and stops* *also realises that having many more things to finish than Jennie is not something to be proud of* *slinks away*


P.S. Good luck!
Wow, that's quite a list! Love all your projects!

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Autumn 2012

This weekend it's the Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side Since the last festival I have finished loads of quilts which I could enter, but I'm sure anyone who follows my blog will have guessed which quilt I'm entering.....and will probably be fed up of seeing it by now :) The Farmer's Wife Quilt - here's the story and lots of photos! In June 2011 some of my favourite bloggers joined the Farmer's Wife QAL on Flickr and I got sucked in! I had just learnt how to foundation piece, so I also joined the Yahoo group and "borrowed" my parents printer to print off all of the foundation patterns. I hate templates, and there were some blocks that would have been impossible to rotary cut - including some of my favourites! Peaceful Hours; Spiders Web; Jackknife Century of Progress; Night and Day; Wood Lily I had been looking for an excuse to buy use batik fabrics. I just had to decide on black. Or white. I change my mind a...

Sweet Serenade Pincushions

This week has been about preparation, rather than sewing. I'm still hoping to meet my deadline of a full sized quilt by mid July - it's for friends that we don't see often - by which I mean, once a year, and that once a year is coming up quickly. I'm using Sweet Serenade by Basic Grey for Moda, which was released a few years ago now. I confess when I first bought it, I didn't have a plan for it, I just knew I liked it. But I also knew that it wasn't really my normal fabric choice. It was fabric I would enjoy sewing with, but perhaps not the end result so much. Then I realised it's colour scheme was perfect for these friends. I've spent this week cutting out all the pieces for the remaining 20 blocks. And by Thursday night when I finished I was feeling like I hadn't achieved much. Obviously I had and when I started piecing the blocks, they went together beautifully quickly. But I needed a quick finish on Friday Earlier this month, Fat Qu...

Meet Mia

***warning - lots of photos*** It is the first of March and therefore time for a review of what I achieved in February. There was some sewing for the first 23 days - I finished the quilt for Baby I made progress on the quilt for a friend's Baby and I finished my Thread Along Quilt  top I made some Dear Jane blocks (you can see them here , here and here ) and some Farmer's Wife Blocks And then on 24th February I went into labour and 12 hours later at 11.26pm we welcomed Amelia Lily to the world. Mia for short, weighed 9lbs 1 oz (4110g). We came home on Thursday after a few days in hospital and now we are juggling feeds, nappies and sleeps. Three hours old I love how suspicious she looks in this picture... We had a very handmade home coming with a knitted cardi and blankie from Grandma - my name was mud as the blanket was over 230 rows each with over 230 stitches plus a border.... I don't knit so I don't really understand - Grandma made sure I ...
