Thank you Fabricworm!

WIP Wednesday

Let’s see what I managed to accomplish this week:

New Projects:

No new projects this week.   I’m determined to bust out my current to-do list before adding anything in.

Ongoing Projects:
Simply Strings Bee:   October is the last month and it’s MY month too!   I chose a spider web block for this month in teals, blues, greens and grays.

I’m excited to see these blocks roll in and start piecing.   I’ve been wanting to complete a string quilt for awhile now, so I’m thankful these ladies are going to help me cross #33 off my Life’s to-do list.  Woot!    I made a little mockup just for fun.

Then we have the September block for the {Sew Bee It.} group.   Jenna chose a churn dash style block that will be made into a quilt for her daughter.    One of my flying geese was a bit naughty and didn’t line up perfect.    tsk tsk!

That’s it for this week.   Now that everyone is starting to feel better around here, I hope to be more productive next Wed!

WIP Wednesday

I missed last weeks WIP because I didn’t realize it was Wednesday until it was Thursday.

I’m back on track this week though folks.   It’s Wednesday and I might even get this posted before 10am.  Woot!

WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced

On to what happened this week:

COMPLETED PROJECTS:

  • August Simply Strings Bee Block:  Here’s the inspiration quilt, Fan Quilt.   I’m really excited to see Becky’s finished quilt!

  • August {Sew Bee It.} Blocks:  For these we were sent fabric and given freedom to do whatever we wanted.  I really like this idea, so that you end up with a sampler quilt.

  • September Simply Strings Bee Block:  I love everything about this block.  Stephanie chose such gorgeous colors and a fun design.

  • My sewing machine quilt, Ode to Pearl, for Mini Quilt Monday

TOPS AWAITING QUILTING:

NO PROGRESS:

  • Gavin’s Quilt, waiting on fabric
  • September {Sew Bee It.} Block
  • 100 Quilts for Kids quilt
