Quilting like a Maniac- Relaxing through Quilting.

I missed the 3rd quarter Finish-A-Long but I'm still keeping track of what I've done and what has not been done.  I'm finding the 2018 Finish-A-Long very helpful in completing many of my UFOs or things that I've gathered material for but just store it and stare at it once in a while (yeah, you know you do that as well.....)   So what I thought was to share what's been done in the 3rd quarter and then list what I want to do in the next in another blog posting for October because that's when you list your next set of goals.  So, here we go....

DONE  And my mother is absolutely crazy about it.  It's wool with  two and a half inch squares sewn all around the wool.  It's really very beautiful.  Here's what it looks like now before  (to your right and here is what it looks like completed: (2)  The pixelated eye - which is a Craftsy free course online  with Caro Sheridan.  I have the kit and I would like to compl

OK, it's down....  My machine is jamming up and making a funny noise, which means I have to bring it in for a cleaning.  But it's because of all the stuff I've been doing.  I try to keep it clean inside, but I do sew a lot and here's a few more I've made with left over pieces A table top for the top of our CD case holder.  They're 7" wide.

One of my Row by Rows from last year for "HOME".    From Quilted Treasures at 1140 Austin Ave, in Coquitlam, BC   Of course the cleaning up of my sewing room is still in effect.  Here's an update of pictures.  One side looks really good, with the current project ont he right side of the sewing table.  But believe it or not the 2nd picture is actually an improvemen

School starts Tuesday here in British Columbia and when that starts I won't have as much time for quilting (not that I have right now).  So I'm trying my hardest to get a few things done before the start.
