Working away

So, I have been working on a quilt I'm testing for TQPM and I can't show you.  But, it has Y seams in it and this was posted on another group, so I wanted to share the you tube on Y seams.


I love this way of doing them.

I'm off to quilting with Carol and working on this baby quilt where I'm cutting 2.5" squares from baby clothing.  I don't know when it will be done, but these weekly events have been helping me make progress.

Next sampler society block

They are so cute.  I'll have to play with a design

I did work on the testing quilt, which I can't show you.  Hope to get the top put together today.

Sampler Society blocks

This block was for week before last.  I didn't get it done with the crazy schedule we had.

This one came out on Friday,

It's a rainy day, so I'm inside and not running around.

 

So, here are the 6 blocks we have made, and I have 2 waste triangle pinwheels up there. 

 I know I have another set somewhere.

Cutting and more cutting

Well, I don't have a photo, but I spent the day stabilizing and cutting the baby clothing into 2.5" squares, again.  This is a never ending project and when I get this quilt done, I will have another one to do the same thing on. LOL
Carol and I are getting together to focus each other on our craft.  Seems to be working, because if I were home, I would never had made it through the 3 hours that I cut.
I am making progress.  I should take time and sew some of them together and see how it is looking. I have some variety now, so that is good.  I still have more than two of the reusable grocery bags full of clothing to cut for the boy quilt.  What a project, but I think it will be fun when it gets done.  I also have a HUGE bin of girl clothing to work on,
They are taking up my walk way in between my cutting table and big board.  I won't know what to do when they are not there anymore. :)

We are having a rain storm tonight.  Hope it stays steady so we can get some good coverage and the water storage can be positively impacted.

I need to get photos of the towels I made for DD's teachers.  Now to get her to put something together when she gives them to the teachers.

I am almost as busy as ever, but the competition season for band is over, so that is going to be helpful.

As I'm in my room more, I want to straighten it up.  These are my scraps.  I have no idea how to get this to turn and stay turned.  But, I had fabric all hanging out and it was a mess.

 I worked on it a bit and it looks a little better.  I wonder how many scrap quilts are in that wall of scraps?  I know I've made many a quilt and this never seems to go down.  It is time to focus and use some of them up.

I am making something for bandcoming.  It is on the 14th, so I'd better figure out what I'm doing fairly soon.  LOL

Hope your November is fabulous and gives you lots of be thankful for!

October was NOT a good usage month, but it was expected.  It was a GREAT Band Month!

I hope November is better.

Using the Embroidery machine now, so maybe I can sew some too.

Not a very productive month, but October is band season, so it is what it is.

Actually, I've had some fairly unproductive months this year.

If I'm going to get to my 200 yard goal, I need to get busy.

Baby Clothing Quilt status

So, I am slowly getting things to working.  

This has been a long term project. 

 I have two of them to make for twins.  

Thank goodness Mom is not in a hurry.

These are the squares I've cut into the 2.5" size.

I have others in 6.5" and 4.5" sizes.

They should all go together.

Until I found some 3.5" cut out.  Why did I cut them that size? 

I have a tote bag full of baby clothing and then I have less than half the tub left in here.

This tub was FULL when I started, so I guess I'm making progress.

There are a few pieces sewn together already.

One step at a time and this too will be completed.
