OMG for June completed!!

-

OMG I got another UFO completed!!!  And just in time as this one is going to my aunt in California in about 3 weeks.  It's done, it's done, it's done!!!!  All quilted, binding completed and voila!!  The picture of what I started with....  It was put together, the letters were all added and stitched down.  But I needed to complete the entire thing.  


So now the big reveal....

 

 

 


That's it, it looks spectacular!!!  Looks great on my bed.  It's think enough so she won't be too hot in California, but warm enough for my uncle.  It's black, white, and gray (she wanted black and white but the gray really pops it).  And then there is that lime green. Really says something.  I'm hoping to find some more of it so I can make pillow cases in the same color.  So linking up to "One Monthly Goal" at Elm Street Quilts.  Wish me luck.

      Wish I could keep it but it's for my aunt who is sick. Hoping it will cheer her up. Thank you for visiting.

      Thank you Karen. The quilting took 6 months but well worth it. Kind of wished I kept it for myself ;) Thanks for visiting.

      Thank you Anne-Mettes. Looks great in California, on my Aunt's bed. Matches the picture (gray and off white flower) perfectly. Thanks for visiting.

One I missed and another done

 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
