I have finshed a couple things during this past week. From 2009 let me bring you my Kaffe Dresden table topper;
I just love this thing. Why oh why did it take me 3 years to get this topper finished?? I have run across these blocks in the fabric pile under my cutting table for three years! Last weekend I finally decided to finish it up. My friend Mary Anne shared her personal restriction of finishing up a UFO before she allows herself to start another NEW project. What a great idea! I am going to try to adopt this philosophy.....we'll see how it goes! I have this loaded on the quilt frame and will pick up some batting today so I can finish it up. I need to get a backing made for a top thats waiting to be quilted (another UFO)...so many things, so little time!
I also finished this....... It is my version of Bleachers, an Angela Walters pattern from Empty Bobbin Sewing Studio. I love how it turned out. It was a bit of a challenge to make, only because I didn't follow the pattern so I had to change the way I cut and put together the pieces. It was fun to make, fun to quilt and I love the finished project. I used my limited Habitat stash. I only liked a few pieces of the Habitat line and they are all in this quilt! That grey dot is fabulous! I have a little left, maybe for a baby quilt. This quilt is lap size.
Well I must get going ! What are you working on this weekend?
Paula,
ReplyDeleteBleachers turned out wonderful! It makes me actually like those habitat fabrics. I love how you changed it up.
I love that little dresden topper. Can't wait to see it finished. You'll have to let me pet it. :)
ReplyDeleteI snuck away yesterday for 4 hours to Harper's and did lots of cutting and a little sewing. I have been chopping various colors of solid green up into 9 inch (I think) squares to use for strip piecing. Mary Anne got me started with that type of thing during our bee & I decided it'd be a great way to do leaders & enders & chain piece. I also chopped a bunch of strips to go into a spider web Quilt of Valor. It will be pretty scrappy & bright. Has been fun planning that one. I'm not sure how big it will turn out, so I might have to get creative with borders... Planning ahead isn't my forte. I like to dive right in.
