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!

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...

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 ...

Bloggers Quilt Festival: Incubator Quilt

This weekend marks the start of the Bloggers' Quilt Festival hosted by Amy I've struggled to decide which of my quilty finishes I wanted to share with you, but I've decided on this incubator quilt. Back in February/March we learnt that two of the regulars at our local quilt shop who were expecting Grandchildren had lost them within hours of their due date. Both babies had been still born. The mother of one of the babies asked our Local Quilt Shop if they could donate some quilts to the unit at the RVI in Newcastle where premature babies are cared for and where parents of still born babies are allowed to spend a few precious hours with their babies. So far the shop and its customers have donated over seventy quilts for this cause. I have donated two so far (you can see my other one here ), and I fully intend to keep making one or two a month. But this was my first one: That's the background of the reason I made the quilt, but it was also a quiltin...
