Pillow finish

My latest finish is another collage project...it's a Laura Heine flower. I decided to make it small instead of wall size. And then i added assorted HSTs on one side. It ended up being a fun summer pillow for my entry seat. I just may make another....

Finished up my collage quilt & working on another

My Laura Heine collage quilt is finished and I'm ready for class.

I'll be teaching this collage technique in an all day class. It should be fun👍

The hardest part was quilting him. Going through multiple layers of steam a seam while FMQ wasn't easy. I had to stop quite often to wipe off my needle. But overall, I'm very happy with how he turned out.

• ...this wasnt the UFO I was supposed to finish but it IS a finish and that makes me happy!

So now that he was done, I started on another project that's been ignored for a while.. My American Jane quilt.

Border added...now to decide what I want to add next. Maybe a couple of plain little borders then a border of stars. It's about 56" right now. I would like it to be at least 72" square when I'm done.

A busy month

 On my way to finishing up a quilt... Yay! This was a leader/ender project using scraps and fabric from my stash.

I found the backing buried in a box...its old, really old...maybe 1990s or earlier 😱

It's all pin basted.... It'll be free motion quilted after i finish my Laura Heine wallhanging. 

What else has been going on? Well, Jenn added to her family. This is Charlie Jay😀

Lisa and Dustin came up for a visit...played with Henry and welcomed Charlie to the family.

2nd Quarter Finish-Along

I've decided I need to finish up quite a few projects and so im joining in the Finish-Along at marcigirldesigns.

I'll be linking up the following projects:

The first is my sweet little Henry dog

This is a collage quilt pattern from Laura Heine called Emerson. He will be made into a wall hanging but right now its just flowers on pattern ease. Lots of work ahead but he is #1 on my ToDo list. Im teaching this class in 2 weeks! Got to get him done!

This quilt just needs the binding stitched on and then hand sewn down. Sounds easy enough and yet there it sits on my sewing table...

This guy was a scrap project designed to use up my purple scraps. It's from 2017 so I'd like it done. Needs quilting and binding.

This is another quilt using scraps. It needs to be quilted and bound.

 This blue Kaffe log cabin needs a border then quilting and binding.

Then theres the pink red kaffe quilt...bear paw blocks. I need to finish the top and piece the backing with leftover blocks. Finally it needs FMQ and binding.

This is a leader and ender scrap quilt that needs a few more blocks and maybe a border or two? 

Here's one that should be second on my list. This is the April ufo from patchworktimes ufo challenge. So theres a double reason to finish it. There are still blocks to make to get it up to a bed size then the same as all...fmq and binding.

I started to do Forest Fancy then decided i like the quilts with just one animal better so the 2 or 3 bunny blocks that are done will have more bunnies added (and maybe some carrot blocks) then it'll be an adorable Easter or baby quilt.

Im really, really hoping that in the next few months these projects will get finished. It's been a while since I had a finish😞 I realize not all these will get finished but if I really PUSH maybe half will be done. So I'm off to start working on them today...we're having an April snow storm here and there's no way we can leave the house. SEW DAY!!

April color and UFO of the month

The color for APRIL is yellow. The UFO is number 5.

I'll TRY to finish up this quilt. I didn't get anything done on my March UFO but I was on vacation part of the time, had my sister staying with us and had a class to prepare for...just too busy to do much extra sewing.
This month the new baby will be here so that might cut into sewing time a bit and I have another class to teach along with a sample to make.
