Project Progress - Yippee!

I was able to get a bunch of projects moved forward today. I was able to sew quite a bit today (Saturday).

My February goals are:

1. Pot Holders/Mitts - I cut the fabric for them (TODAY), just have to quilt it and then cut them.
2. Dino's - Cut valances for two windows (TODAY). Each are two fabrics and one appliqued Dino per window. I will go back to the quilt next.
3. Dear Jane - Almost finished two blocks, should finish tomorrow, will post pics then.
4. Baltimore Autumn - I didn't finish Block 1, so I'll probably tackle it again in February.
5. Baltimore Christmas - Didn't finish Block 1, might continue or move on to Block 2. I think Block 1 is the hardest of all of them.
6. Baltimore Halloween - Block 2 here I come!!!
7. Baltimore Liberty - None much was done in January. :(
8. Vintage Valentine - About halfway on this one - Block 1.
9. Country Cottages - Little embroidery left, then will move to Block 2.
10. Nursery stuff - Started a pillow awhile ago, put a ruffle on it (TODAY).
11. Stop Sign - Need to tie off ends and bind. Quilting is done. Have to finish this in February.
12. Spot - Nothing done, so need to get on this one.
13. Black/White Quilt - It's a queen and I quilted some of it and my tension wasn't correct, so I need to rip out a bunch of blocks. My bad.

So, there you have my list for February that I'd love to make even a bit of headway on them.

I signed myself up for a bunch of online things because I felt like I was doing mostly applique, so I wanted to piece some projects. I really wanted to sew at the machine today, so I did!

1. Easy Street - I just trimmed a bunch of Step 3 blocks. The 15 minutes went fast.
2. Sunbonnet Sleuth - Did another eight blocks.
3. Skillbuilder - I cut a bunch of block borders so that I won't have to do it with each block.
4. Susan's Folly - made two blocks today (had two already done and have five more to go)
5. Craftsy BOM - Just had time to choose some fabrics.
6. Our Family is a Hoot - Downloaded the pattern.
7. Heart Bookmarks - Downloaded the pattern.
8. I Love Sewing - Sulky BOM

Here's some pics:

This is the pillow - she wanted primary colors and no ruffle on the pillow.



There's the Susan's Folly blocks. Two of each and very, very scrappy. I'd gotten some scraps from an acquaintance and I'm looking for ways to use them up. 



These are the Sunbonnet Sleuth blocks I did today. 



Here's the two Dear Jane blocks:




That's probably all I can show you for now, but I really did work quite a bit today. Leftovers for dinner so didn't have to do any real work there. 

I'm listing all my projects here so I can refer to them...maybe cross them out or update it when I move the project along. Not saying I'll work on all of these, but I don't want to lose sight of them. Guess I should prioritize them, but, a list is better than nothing. LOL 

What's on your list?

Online Quilt Festival - Spring 2009

What a great idea to host an online Quilt Festival ! Thanks to Amy @ Park City Girl! Be sure to stop by and add your favorite quilt! Well, I really want to join in this huge event, so I'm hoping that an almost completed quilt will qualify! I've chosen my Hungry Caterpillar quilt as my favorite because it is my best to date and who doesn't want to show their best? Of course, I have a long way to go, but I'm learning with each and every quilt. This quilt's story goes like this...it was a kit! I'm not ready to chose my own fabrics/colors just yet (may never be!). I got the kit and went to work trying to hit the one-year old granddaughter's birthday (missed it, of course). I simply loved its simplicity since it was panels that I just put together, but it was a good ego boost for this quilting novice, not to mention the practice I'd gotten! So, I loaded on my new HQ16 with the ProStitcher and it sat until I found a digital pattern to go with it. Once again, I...

Finished Clue 2

Here's Clue #2 of the mystery quilt on the Facebook group. I'm working on a bunch of other projects and will share as I get my act together. LOL

Making Some Headway

Wow, finally got all the Kids Will Be Kids blocks put together!!! On to the borders next! I can't wait to get it on the HQ! I worked on my January calendar and still need a few more days. Can't decide which fabric to add. I was trying to use just what I finished, but I think I'll just use some from current projects because I can't get enough done in one month. :) I also worked on my Double Delight a bit tonight, but I'm having trouble getting my on-point squares to not shift when sewing. I need to get those pins Bonnie talks about in her video on her Quiltville site. That's it for Sunday. Gloria
