sewing weekend

I still need to get photos of all the things I accomplished this weekend, but I finished the green UFO that has been hanging around for awhile. It is a teacher gift, so that is a wonderful accomplishment.

then, I finished the hidden wells quilt. This is a new start because DD said the quilt I'd made was NOT blue enough. So, this one is mostly blue and is finished.

Thank you, Vicki, for digitizing the labels for me.

They are in the wash ready to be given to the teachers. I think we will probably do it on Wednesday to be away from the crazy times.

Now, I need to start working on the lavender and yellow baby quilt. If I'm lucky, I can have it done before I leave for DC.

Sunday update

I have been working on this quilt on and off all week. It is the last of the teacher quilts. So, now I need to get the backing together and quilt it.

Then, the binding on the 2 quilts and I will have all things done. This is all from stash, and so is the other one. It is another UFO, so that is even better.
I took a few minutes off and did some funny TP embroidery. I have a few folks these should go to. LOL

My stash report for the week is:

Fabric usage goal (100 yards)--(35.82) yards to go

Fabric Added This Week -- 0 yards

Fabric Added Year to Date -- 20 yards

Fabric Used This Week -- 9.09 yards

Judy is having us do the check in again this year. Accountability is a good thing!

heartstrings

I finished the binding on a heartstrings quilt. This one could be a boy or girl quilt. I have a binding to do on a girl one.

Weekend sewing

Well, there is an interesting site to go to for Memorial Day Sew in. we are going to be sewing and updating our blogs with the results.

So far this weekend, I've been embroidering Toilet Paper. Thing this is an interesting gift, and we shall see how many I do. LOL I truly think it is a funny gift.

I am also working on teacher quilts and have the binding ready to go on the one. I need to do the label too.

I've started working on the blue quilt and feel confident it will be completed this weekend.

Though, Saturday is probably going to be Fiesta Texas with the kids. Then, it will be my time. :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful memorial day.

I used some fabric for the backing of the flamingo quilt. I done lots of quilting, but none of it is actually for me. LOL So, it did not use up much fabric. But, when I finish a couple more things, I will have a large useage to show.

Fabric usage goal (100 yards)--(54.77) yards to go

More quilting done

I finished quilting the watermelon quilt. I did watermelons. I liked the larger pieces more than the wedges.

After this quilt, I only have one more for pay quilt to do. Well, that is not true. I have another QOV, but it will wait until I complete everything else.

I have the one teacher quilt almost put together, and then it will be making the backing and getting it done. Then, one more to do.

quilting away

I'm chipping away at all the things I must have done this month.

I quilted one of Lana's quilt. I did a modified feather/swirl in the center of each block and then a loopy border. I am not sure I like the loops, but the feather/swirl is cool.

I did clouds on the flamingo wall hanging. This is for the woodland oaks community room where we hold our small group.

So, now I need to finish one more of Lana's quilts and make 3 for me and quilt them. Time is running out.

I still need to sew on the binding on 3 quilts, but they are ready to do that with. maybe I'll do that for the next 30 minutes before I go get DD from school.

I'm making progress, but not quick enough for me. LOL

Another QOV quilted

OK, I have all the QOVs quilted that I have in house! That is a wonderful feeling.

I am now going to quilt the love quilt that is long overdue. I hope I can get this one done quickly and bound. Need to get the label stitched out.

QOV quilted

I am trying to quilt these QOVs and get them mailed out.

This is QOV#88.

I have one more to go and I can start on some other quilts I need to complete.

some progress

I did get to quilt yesterday and today. Very little stash used, but at least I am having some wonderful therapy. This is a love quilt that started out as a pink quilt and now is more purple. I'll be quilting it with purple thread. Hope it will provide some comfort. This will be a stash buster, and a UFO finish.

I quilted two (2) Quilts of Valor (QOV) quilts. 2 more to go and send off. I'm loading a third tonight. Might not get it quilted because there is a storm brewing here.

I will have another QOV coming on Thursday from someone else.

I did some testing of embroidery a cute little goldfinch, a fun flamingo.a fun bread basket, a pie plate that I can't seem to get to turn the right way, a honey pot, and I made 2 heartstrings labels.

I stitched out 2 labels for friends.

Here is a heartstrings quilt that I made for the Wilford Hall maternity ward for high risk pregnancies. Such a sad time in a woman's life, and maybe these little quilts will help her move on. I just need to put on the binding. I need a photo of the boy heartstrings I made with lime green centers.

This is a photo of DD Singing and Stringing in the Park on Sat.These activities are what are taking up lots of my time. I love it!

Sunday accountability

Been busy with other things the last 10 days. Boy is the end of the year a busy time for PTC, Girl Scouts, and school. Yikes!

But, I'm finally trying to get some things accomplished.

I did put together 3 quick wall hangings for DD's teachers during teacher appreciation week.

Wall Hangings

It was teacher appreciation week. I'd not finished all that I wanted, so I had to stay up late last night and finish these 3 wall hangings.
Hope the teachers use them in their classrooms.

It's been a busy week, but not very much quilting to report.
