Sewing Progress

What I have been working on....

 Baby Blanket - 1st set of squares

More to come...

Mini Quilt - Just need to quilt and bind

Table Runner - All finished and packed away for next Christmas!

I decided after Christmas that I was still in the mood for sewing Christmas stuff. I had a lot of scraps leftover from making Christmas presents so I made this runner with them. Inspiration came from "Diary of a Quilter." Tutorial is here. I didn't do the quilt as you go method. I sewed all my strips together first. 

Trying to clean out my fabric stash and numerous scraps...my goal this year is to see how much of it I can clean out. It is so hard to restrain yourself from buying fabric, nevertheless I will resist the temptation. :)

Linking up to:

UFO's

This has been in the pile to finish for a long time (emphasis on LONG :)...it was finished I just needed to bind it. The problem was the binding fabric was buried hence the reason it was sitting unfinished. Finally, I unearthed the fabric and sewed the binding on. I even attempted something new and did it all on the machine instead of finishing it by hand. So glad I tried this method; it goes so much faster and I will definitely be doing it that way in the future.

I also recently finished (or sorta finished) the top of this quilt. I think I should have cut the borders wider. The quilt isn't quite big enough. I am still trying to figure how to fix that problem. I think I am going to add another pieced border. Hopefully that will look ok. I have lots of scraps from the other fabrics leftover.

Blizzard Project...

Being stuck home with all the snow has given me lots of time to work on my very long UFO list. I made this quilt top for my bed, uh yeah, we won't say how many years ago (just like almost 10). During the storm I finally decided to pull it out and quilt it. I still have a good bit left to do, maybe if we get another storm I can finish it up.

Pin Cushion Link

Check out this cute pin cushion project at "Blessed Femina"
It looks super easier and a great way to use scraps.

Piano Watercolor Quilt

I finally finished this quilt tonight. I sewed on the last two sides of the binding. This quilt is made with 990 2" squares and over 200 different fabrics. Since I started it while in college, it has taken me quite awhile to finish it. Now, I am comtempleting which UFO (unfinished object) to tackle next. We shall see. I have a ton of projects that need to be completed.
