String quilts

I've been trying to get these string quilts completed and ready for donation.  I have a couple of places they muight go, but am waiting on one organization that gives to families at Christmas.

These were leftover from the other quilts and are randomly put together.

yellow strings

Red strings

blue strings 

these all matches, so they went together like the little one before

I know I had a pink one too, but have no idea where that photo is.  LOL

Other finishes

I hate throwing anything away.  LOL

I'm having trouble uploading all the string quilts I've finished, so I will try again later.

Applique

I took an applique class with my friend Lorena.  After doing the practice piece, which isn't something you can use to make anything with....I pulled the Hawaiian applique I bought on vacation this summer.  I finished the applique part and need to figure out how to hand quilt it.  I enjoyed working with the batik. It does not fray as easily.  :)

UFO Finish

This was an ostrich round robin and I finished it for the BAMC High Risk Pregnancy Clinic.  I don't like the embroidery on it, but the rest is OK.  This is UFO #9 from Liz's challenge.

No sewing, but cleaning

Well, I have such a mess with non quilting things in this room that I have to figure out what to do.  I folded lots of fabric to try and get it all in the cabinets.  I wish I had the right size of shelving to get all of it in the right colored pile.

UFO Challenge

Liz is having a wonderful UFO challenge and I have my list for it.
1. 4 patches flowers/white (93)
2. Baby clothing quilt – boy
3. Baby clothing quilt -- girl
4. Batik 9” – 9-patches (45)
5. Bug Jar Quilt
6.Christmas 6 inch squares
7. Circular Bullseyes (6)
8. Horse Panel quilt
9. Ostrich round robin
10. String blocks (17)

This month Liz chose item #9.  The Ostrich round robin.  Well, I like what was there until I screwed it up with embroidery work that didn't work out so well, so now I need to figure out what to do with it.  LOL

Off to find the UFO and the others so I can put them all in one place.

I've been working school/band/girl scouts/PTC items instead of doing things I love.  The rest of today and tomorrow is supposed to be my time.

Crazy week

First of all, this week was mostly with me at school for band uniforms or at the doctor for ear problems.  One good thing about doctor offices is I take things to work on.

I finished the binding on a Jo's Club Quilt (I don't know where I put it, so I can't show a photo)

Started this binding and had about 6 inches and finished it last night.  This will go to the Wilford Hall medical center high risk pregnancy clinic.

Today DD and DH wanted to go on a road trip, so I hurried and put the binding on this.  Wish I'd had 2 of them done.  I could have finished the other one too.  LOL  This is going to a daughter of a vet in the community.  I need to make 2 boys quilts and a infant girl quilt.  A friend said she'd do one of the boy quilts.

the other night we were headed home and it stopped raining and look what we saw.  Not quite as pretty as Hawaii, but still beautiful.  I'm told from other angles it was a double rainbow.

I hope to get some pants hemmed for the band this weekend.

I hope to get my ear to stop hurting.
