September's OMG

-
The month of August was great for me, where I got tired of looking at so many UFO's.  My sewing room is still so full of stuff, and it frustrates me when I'm sewing, so I've decided to get as many of the UFOs done as possible.  That's were Elm Street Quilts and the One Monthly Goal comes into play. I listed my Sewology Quilt, got that one done and also completed the goal that I had for July which was my Snowflake quilt (another queen as well).  See the entry here.....

So what's next?  Another UFO BOM (wow, all these acronyms....).  This one was done by my favorite quilt designer Sew Fresh Quilts.  She made a BOM for Harry Potter fans.  And although I'm not a crazy, crazy fan of Harry Potter, I do so love her designs so much, I just had to do it!!!  Guess what?  YES!!!  Another queen.  But for this quilt I've been doing "Quilt as you Go", so it's more than half done.

Here is the design

Isn't it fantastic?!!!  I got the 2nd and 3rd row done, and the hook up date is this September.  So I need to start putting a rush on it.



They're quilted now, need to take a picture and share of the connection.  I have a 2nd group of friends who we put together for a small guild, and it was with them that I started this quilt, they're cheering me on to finish it.  So that's my goal.....  Finish Harry off  ;)

 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….

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
