Finish Along Q3: The List

well most of these will be familiar to you!

Lisa the Unicorn: this progressed last quarter from three individual blocks to a finished quilt top. I need to baste it and quilt it and then I think it will be snaffled by my daughters!


Tula Nova: This is now a finished quilt top. It's basted. And I've done the first few quilting stitches... but it's way too hot at the moment to sit under a quilt so this one hasn't gone any further.


Round of Cats: I've changed the plan for this. It's not going to be a quilt anymore. Nor is it going to be a tote bag for me. Two double-sided cushions coming up. The four blocks are made and need to be basted and quilted.

My Crumb Quilt: this was the cushion cover I started at our North East Modern Quilt Guild workshop with Chris English and grew. I intend to hit the charity shops while on holiday and hopefully find a backing for it which matches the recycling ethos of the front! And then it's another lined up for hand quilting.

Meadowland in Pinkerville. I've made the odd block recently but this wasn't supposed to be a project that would linger. I've ordered the Ruby Star Society Unicorn panel which I think might just work on the back!

The Alison Glass Triangle cushions are making a reappearance. I have two to make (smaller squarer ones than before). The triangles are all prepped.



I signed up to the Pretty Fabrics and Trims summer sampler. I've been saving the lovely little packages for my holiday. The final instalment comes out in September, so theoretically this coud be a Q3 finish.

Moths Pouch: I didn't even touch this last quarter.

EJ+ Quilt: not sure whether I actually want to finish this... maybe that's why I've made no progress on it! But I shall list it here as the blocks are easy and may be just what I need.


Unicorn Embroidery: pattern is transferred, threads are picked...


Bunny embroidery: same as above. Just not started.


Brimfield De La Luna. I'd love to have this finished for Halloween. I know that doesn't fall until the fourth quarter but you never know! I still have a lot of handwork to do if I'm going to achieve that goal, though.

Neon City - this one keep cropping up, doesn't it!

Penguin Party: really I think this is a Q4 project - a new Christmas/Winter quilt, but I'll pop it on this list in the hope it spurs me on. All the blocks are prepped already.

A Preppy the Whale quilt: for a little man who definitely isn't a newborn anymore. His Christening is this summer, so I'd like to have a quilt finished for that, but I haven't really started it, except for pulling out some fabric and we are on holiday between now and the Christening....

Let's pop Fancy Forest on as well, shall we!


Floating Angles EPP: I bought this kit recently and I've finally hit on fabrics and layout that I like! I want to make it as a panel for a tote bag (as I'm not allowed the kittens around blocks).

And finally the hoop with the rejected Alexandria block. This should have been finished last quarter as it's so close....

This list is positively controlled compared to my normal ones! Let's hope it means I achieve something, so at the moment my focus seems to be more on keeping up with the various blocks of the month I've signed up for...

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
