No sewing done today.

It was field day at DD's school, so I helped out with that. Learned a new game -- Newcomb. Volleyball with a twist.

Then, we had to go shopping for shoes.

After that I came home and put together a dog outfit for DD's play tomorrow. She was a kangaroo and now is a spotted dog. LOL

But, these are the quilts I finished yesterday.

This is an old UFO. They were swap blocks I didn't know what to do with. DD wanted her teacher to have a yellow and green quilt and picked these blocks. I always start with my UFO cabinet to see if anything I've already started can be used for a gift. I had to make one more block to finish off the quit. The batik was just not very appealing to me, so I used the yellow sashing to brighten it some. It became larger than I expected, but i used all the green swap blocks. :) This is the label DD "wrote"
Hidden wells. Fun project and looks much more complicated than it is. Here is the label DD "wrote"

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:

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.
