Prairie Moon Organizing Challenge #2

Prairie Moon Organizing Challenge #2

Clean off your main work surface. 

This is usually not a problem, but I do need a little cleanup this time around.

My pressing table is OK. 

Everything to the left is for projects I have out.

My cutting table needs figuring out what I have out that should be put away.

My sewing station to the left is good.

The mess to the right is a project that I'm using for leaders/enders.

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

Berry Basket is made from my bonus HST.

The center is together, and I'm using my leftover Chinese chain strips for the border.

I will need to make more, but I have two sides ready.

This is a memory quilt.

I had trouble getting to that design wall, so....

End of January To-Do-List 2025 update

 I have some things I must finish in 2025 

1. Donna's Memory Quilts (4)

I have 4 of these to make, but I have one about ready to go.

I have 6 rows sewn together.

2. Lillian's Memory Bears (10)

3. Ashley High School Graduation Quilt

This quilt is VERY overdue.

I'm sure I'll add to the list during the year, but I'll stop right here.

At least one Stashbuster UFO a month (1/4) 25%

January #36 Thru Grandmothers Window

(This is all applique, so it won't be done in January)

February #6 Wowza

I won't be able to show this because it is a test quilt that I had trouble with.

February #21 Wedding Quilt 

I don't like the design of this quilt, so it will be a challenge.

Completed Stashbuster UFOs (50%)

January #10 Wolf Postcard Wall Hanging

 All People Quilt UFOs 

At least 50% (0/2) 0%

January #4 Shelf Curtain

February #7 Bright Rainbow Quilt

This one might be easy to finish

Prairie Moon Organizing Challenge

 Prairie Moon does a monthly organizing challenge.

January's Challenge is to Put Away Stray Fabric.

I keep the pieces from when I'm working on a project in a bin.

It is overflowing.

I'm not sure when I'll tackle this because I need to finish some other things first.

I've put it away, but then I do something else, and it is right back where it was, but with a different fabric.

 I cleared out the bin twice during the month.

My fabric is in their home.

This is definitely a never-ending battle.

I've kept up with the Tula 100 block challenge.

  Design Wall Monday 

Small Quilts and Doll Quilts

I have a couple of projects started and on the design wall.

Berry Basket is made from my bonus HST.

I am missing one of my containers with more white/color HST

I need to cut the background so I can start putting this together.

This is a memory quilt.

100 Modern Blocks Quilt Along

We are supposed to do a block a day.

This week is 6-10.

I do better if I can do them all at once.

I'm using my scrap florals with some type of green in each block.

All of my fabric is coming from my scraps.

Snow

 Snow in Texas is not much for those up north, but everything is shut down here.

  

  

I planned on sewing with a friend, but I don't know if the roads are icy.

Maybe later today, we can sew together.

New Braunfels Area Quilt Guild

 We needed to change our location yesterday because of a conflict at our normal meeting place.

We met at the Cibolo Grange and held a workshop where we made tote bags for Quilts For Those in Need charity.

It was a long and productive day.

100 Modern Quilt Blocks Sew Along

 A friend and I are joining the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks Sew Along.

Block 2

Block 2

Block 1

I'm using my floral scraps (there are a lot of them).

I decided to use green in each block to help with some consistency.

It seems I am using pink a lot. LOL

I think we are supposed to make 5 each week, normally one a day.

But, I know me and I doubt I'll be able to get one done a day, so I decided to make the week's worth in one day.
