UFO Top DONE

OK, so I finished putting together this UFO top. 

 I like the background that looks like bubbles.  

Both DD and DS love it.

Now to find the backing and get it quilted.

I have a full day the next 2 days, so I doubt that is going to happen.

It will use about 5.5 yards of fabric.

Updated listing

Of course, these are only the ones at the front.  I still have loads of band booster things to do.  Guess I need to make a new list,

Cut more 2.5” squares from baby clothing

 Clean off desk (started and redone)

Sew some of UFO together

  Vacuum and dust

Redo the lease for the trailer

Put binding on pink and green quilt

UFO Progress

After doing DD duties for GS today, I came home and finished the center of the Shenandoah top.

I started the inner border and decided to show you what I am up to.

After the 2 dark narrow strips there will be a light blue border.

When that is on, the top is ready to get backing and quilt.

This is just a lap size because I do not like cutting these long pieces.

The cutting takes longer to do than the piecing.

That is why it turned into one of my easy UFOs.

If it weren't for the Sampler Society UFO Challenge, I doubt I would have tackled this one.

Thanks, Karlene for keeping me going.

Stash report

Not a good month.  Vacation took it's toll on my productivity and summer band starting has not helped.

Added This Month                   6.00

Used This Month                     0.00

I do have a binding to work on and will have a finish this week.

I do have another UFO being worked on, so that is a good thing.

Working on UFO

Shenandoah is one of my UFOs.  

When you stop mid stream in cutting, you have some issues.  :(

All the problems can be worked out, but I hate problems.  LOL

I also put the binding on the pink and green quilt.

I will work on it during idle times.

Nothing new done

I really had planned to do the binding on the pink and green quilt, but the band activities took over.  What I thought would only take a little over half the day took all day.
I hope the next 3 days are no like that.  I'm hoping they go the half day and I have some time to myself.

OK, so I was going to show you the pink and green quilt.  

The camera won't download to the computer.  

It wants to download to drop box, but then I can't find the photos.

Final update on trip list

My plans for my handwork are:

1.    Take the signature quilt with me to bind a. DONE

2.    Take a hand quilting project that I don’t like doing to try and finish. IN PROCESS  I have 12 more stars that need to be done

3.    Take the extra yarn to make more of the scarves and finally get it all used up

      Made one scarf There are loads of yarn left.  It will stay in the car for use when I need it.

4.    Take the bonus hst with me to press and trim.  These are normally my summer project and maybe I’ll have enough 2” hst to finish up the next border on my bonus triangle quilt. IN PROCESS  I showed a photo of what I had done.  There are always more that need to be worked on.

5.    Take some applique blocks with me.  I still need to pull the fabric and trace the wax paper to get them ready. Won't be done, forgot the thread to stitch them down

6.    Take a couple of books to read.stated one and need to finish it

7.    Take my graph paper and colored pencils to dream STARTED ONE QUILT Still playing with a design.
8.  Handwork on thread catchers

baby clothing quilts

I am once again cutting on the baby clothing

Non stretchy pieces

Stretchy ones that needed to have stabilizer on the back

the next one that needs stabilizing

The container with all the rest of the stuff in it.  It is still full.

I have to cut 2.5", 4.5" and 6.5" depending on the design that is embroidered on the item.

Then comes putting them all together.  I've done a few to make sure it is OK, but it is a long way from completion. :(

unpacking

One of my tasks was to work on the bonus hst and see how many I could get trimmed.

I didn't get them all done, but some is better than none.

Design Wall

Still the same.  We got home late last week, but I've not been able to do anything so far with my quilting.  Still working on getting back in place all the items we took, reading and answering mail, doctors, etc.

Hope to do something on this soon,.

 I also have my green and pink quilt to load and quilt.

Quilting is good for you!

This was shared with me and I thought this was wonderful and wanted to share why quilting is good for us.

Vacationing

 

Just leaving Yellowstone and heading to Tetons. Beatutiful.

Vacation

Buffalo Bills place

Yellowstone bound

Lots of pretty rocks

 

Sad day.  Lost my camera.  Seems nothing is going great on this trip.  Trying to keep positive, but it seems to keep knocking me down.

 

I've been hand quilting my small quilt.  Wish I could show you a photo.
