What's next on the hit parade????

-

 Well it's time to make October's goal, and I'm happy to say that I've completed the All People's Quilt challenge selection already.  So maybe this month's goal is to catch up on another one that keeps on trudging along but I don't get it done.  So here it is, my row by row....

I have 18 row by rows completed.  All are quilted.  I am using Quilt as you Go to attach them all in two rows.  I now need to make the center row because three rows of row by rows will look stupid. See what they look like so far.  Below are two more sections of 3 to add together then to the 3 more for the right side of the quilt.


Need to quilt these.

For the middle I have purchased a pattern from SewFresh for a seagull, a crab, and the posts that are in the water (I don't know what they're called).  I also already have from her a pelican pattern (I made this one before and gave it away to someone in Florida).  Plus I have a little surprise for the top (a paper piece design).  This is what I hope to finish this month.  

It should be queen size, quilted massively, and it will be one more for our bed.  The hard part is done, 18 row by rows, each one taking at least a month to complete (remember I work also).  So wish me luck.  Hooking up to Elm Street Quilts for Octobers finish.


PS this is also's June or July's finish off of All People's Quilt Challenge.  So once more, two stones with one throw  :)

    Someone will enjoy making up stories around this quilt! Lovely! Good luck with the quilt as you go; I find the sewing together of the sections the most tedious chore.

      Hi Marly, there's a great video on how to do it by a woman on the Island called Marianne Haak at http://www.thequiltingedge.com/p/tutorials.html to teach how to join the squares. It's a fast and easy way with Marianne. Check it out.

 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
