Crazy Times!

I am still running on empty so have been quiet, but have gotten a few different things made so will share them with you now.

I managed my two goals for June... all the solid blocks for the Skull quilt and the Coral pillow for the shop.

I made a second nap blanket for the store out of Echino fabric.

I made a bee block that was improve piecing... a new experience. Not sure yet if it will be repeated LOL!

And lastly, I made a Louise Lapin bunny doll for my upstairs neighbour. It has been very well received :)

In other news, I am heading to the Vermont Quilt Festival tomorrow which was my lovely Christmas gift from my Mom. While there I will be meeting up with a Flickr friend named Amy. I am very much looking forward to it!

And as a side note... for the last few weeks my cursor has been randomly scrolling up and down and it is driving me bonkers... any solutions?

Linking up with a Lovely Year of Finishes!

ALYOF June goal setting

Another month, another goal setting... for this month I am going to keep it fairly light as I have a lot of other sewing commitments...

One: I would like to finish my coral pillow cover and put it in my store. It needs to be quilted and made into a pillow, right now it is just pieced.

I would also like to commit to making 8 more colour only blocks on my nephew's quilt... after this is when the skull piecing starts taking shape, so that will take more time.

As I already said, a fairly light load... I will also be finishing a pillow for a private swap that involves a lot of embroidery and hand sewing, a block for one of my bees, and a little gift for one of my on-line friends that I will be meeting when I go to the Vermont Quilt Festival at the end of the month :)

I am linking of with the ALYOF linky party at Fiber of All Sorts.

ALYOF May linky post

Once again I apologise for not being around much... still pretty darned tired... started taking iron about two weeks ago and am hoping it will start to work soon.

For May I wanted to follow along in the Retro Rubies QAL... here is where I am.

 

I'm not totally committed to this layout yet so am having trouble moving forwards... I am planning on sashing all in white and will hang it in my bathroom when done. (Does that seem weird?) I have a big empty wall that needs some brightening up!

 

As well, I wanted to make 10 blocks for my nephew's skull quilt and here they are.

 

The blocks are 12.5x12.5, but I just layered them for the picture... I am excited to see that I am liking my random picks.

Also, as a side note I made my first piece of clothing, The Staple Dress by April Rhodes... please ignore the body shape that is in it LOL.



Tired...

I don't know why but I have spent the last 2 weeks simply exhausted... I would have completely forgotten about my May planning for my finishes goal had I not read a friend's blog post.

I would like to make at least 10 blocks in my nephews Skull quilt.

I would also like to follow along with Pile O'Fabric's latest quilt along Retro Rubies. So basically, be where I should be at the end of the month LOL.

(Sorry for the short post, as I said... exhausted)

Yippee!! April finishes :)

This month I was actually finished both of my goals by halfway through the month... I really love having this linky party to keep me on track!

If you remember, I needed to finish a market bag for a swap as well as I wanted to add a new baby quilt to my store.

 

I made the bag using 10" squares of Echino I got in a swap... love!

 

The lining is a deep purple linen I bought a couple of years ago.

This is the baby quilt I made for my shop. Fairly simple quilting but I love it :) I did all-machine sewing for the binding as it is being sold. I did a fair job LOL... lot's more practice coming up! And to prove that I listed it, here it is :) https://www.etsy.com/listing/129369113/beautiful-baby-crib-quilt?ref=shop_home_active

And because this is a boring administrative post, you get a picture of Opie!
