Splish Splash

Yes, I finally finished this quilt. It took a LONG time to quilt, but I enjoyed every minute of it! You can read all the details HERE.

Christmas Train

I have started the Christmas train that Simina from Essem convinced me that I needed to make. I’ve started webbing it together.

Laundry Basket Mystery Quilt Progress

There is a bit of progress on the quilt … Week 1 & 2 are done, Week 3 is started (the flying geese) and Weeks 4 & 5 will be started soon. You can access the Mystery HERE

Stitching Stuff

Kate, from Life in Pieces, is hosting “Stitching Stuff” and the goal is to sew for at least 15 minutes a day. I use Kate’s guideline, but my personal goal is to sew for 30 minutes a day. On those “blah” days, it does motivate me to sit at my machine and 30 minutes often turns into several hours. Thank you Kate for the motivation!

Design Wall Mondays

Judy, at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, hosts a linky party for “What’s on your Design Wall” every week.

Piecing projects:

• Laundry Basket Mystery: Weeks 3, 4 & 5 (1 & 2 are done, the flying geese for #3 are done, but not sewn together, #4 &#5 are not even cut out.
• Christmas Train: is cut out and I’ve started webbing it together

Quilting projects:

• Teal blocks are sandwiched and need to be quilted. (Sorry, only a picture of one of the blocks)

Sunday Stash

Donna at Quilt Paint Create hosts a weekly linky party where you can display your stash numbers. This has really kept my stash from growing (somewhat!) Before I buy anything, I am always mindful of the fact that I need to report it on my blog … That sometimes stops me in my tracks!
