OMG for November

-
OK, it was terrible, my October OMG, I got it done except for one block and I'm trying to get that done this November.  But I also have another one that I'm working on and I started this week. 

So I know that we only need to link up one (I'm doing it at Elm Street Quilts)  but I'm taking control of this blog entry and I'm putting in two to complete.  The big one is the quilt I'm doing called Snowflake Shimmer Quilt.

The first one is what I've been working on for two months (see the last two entries here on my blog - I'm going to get it done so help me!!!!).  Then I would like to work on a new one and this one is fabulous and a free pattern online.  It's from a kit I bought for about $40 american and it gave me enough material to make a quilt that is 72 inches by 85 inches.  That's a lot of material.  It looks like this now:



And when done it will look like this:


It's from Quilting JetGirl who is absolutely fabulous and the link to the Snowflake Shimmer Quilt Along is below with a diagram of the final.  The Quilt along is old, but this pattern is fabulous and modern, and will always be new.  Check it out.   https://quiltingjetgirl.com/2016/08/12/snowflake-shimmer-quilt-along-piecing-instructions-1/

Just you wait....  I'm excited.  I have Friday and Monday off this week because of Remembrance Day.  Working on something for that as well...  You'll have to wait.  Good luck to me!!!  Linking up.

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be…. End of bed quilt. This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
